I am very interested in this procedure and will try to witness the process.Clueless in Bostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246601221880879890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364505916481499800.post-91033181340346560762012-07-21T22:43:26.111-04:002012-07-21T22:43:26.111-04:00Beautiful sculpture and interesting that it will b...Beautiful sculpture and interesting that it will be configured yearly.

The list of 20th century massacres and genocides is very long and yet there are only two events that have been recognised as genocides since the term was coined in 1948 (therefore, events subsequent to the Holocaust): Rwanda and Srebrenica. Some say the legal definition of the term is too cumbersome and it is too difficult to apply the definition and prosecute it. I say equal credence and recognition needs to be given to war crimes and crimes against humanity.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364505916481499800.post-70137200748657281782012-07-19T22:39:50.228-04:002012-07-19T22:39:50.228-04:00This is an appealing monument.

That just might be one step too precious.
