Tom Flanagan raises an important question about W2I report's recommendations

In this morning's Toronto Globe & Mail (22 September 2009), Tom Flanagan raises an important question about the recommendations of MIGS report, Mobilzing the Will to Intervene: Leadership and Action to Prevent Mass Atrocities:

Are democracies limited in their work of preventing mass atrocities in other countries by their need to remain engaged in order to accomplish "regime change" and prevent future violence against the intended victims of the original atrocities?

Looking forwarding to your views!/Frank Chalk, Director, Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies, Concordia University

The Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies

MIGS' work is cutting edge. Peace and conflict resolution are its primary aims. The Institute seeks not only to uncover the underlying reasons for genocide and other crimes against humanity, but also to put forth concrete policy recommendations to resolve conflicts before they intensify and spiral into mass atrocity crimes.

MIGS was founded in 1986, based in the departments of History and Sociology/Anthropology at Concordia University. In recent years, Concordia faculty members and graduate students from Communications, English, Geography, and Political Science have joined in its work, as have colleagues from McGill and the University of Quebec in Montreal.
