Policyhttp://fds.duke.edu/db/Sanford/bwjJentleson has worked in both the Obama and Clinton State Departments on
genocide and mass atrocities prevention. He is a member of the Responsibility
to Protect Working Group, sponsored by the U.S. Institute of Peace and the United
States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Jentleson has written extensively on these issues,
including his book "Opportunities Missed, Opportunities Seized: Preventive Diplomacy
in the Post-Cold War World" (2000).Quote:"'Never again' the world declared after the Nazi genocidal holocaust in World
War II. But in Bosnia, Rwanda, Darfur and elsewhere, it's been yet again. Preventing
genocide and mass atrocities is not only a U.S. responsibility, but it is both
in our security interest and true to our values to do as much as we can."The initiatives President
Obama announced today, on top of other policies his administration has put in
place, are important steps to fulfilling our part of the 'never again' pledge."
