"Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of the horrific Rwandan genocide. We must renew our commitment to do more to prevent genocide and crimes against humanity."

"In 2007, I held a hearing on genocide where we heard testimony from General @RomeoDallaire, the head of UN peacekeeping in Rwanda whose pleas for help fell on deaf ears, and @DonCheadle, who starred in Hotel Rwanda https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/genocide-and-the-rule-of-law …."

"Following the hearing, I authored the Genocide Accountability Act, bipartisan legislation that makes genocide anywhere in the world a crime under U.S. law https://www.congress.gov/bill/110th-congress/senate-bill/888 …"
