As a former UN rapporteur for genocide, Juan Mendez, said to a member of our Article 1 team, “You must be like a grain of sand in the eye of the decision-makers. Remind them constantly of their international legal obligations. Never let them forget that they have an obligation to act when massive human rights abuses and genocide take place.”
