"Our failures in Rwanda make it vital for us not only to learn from our mistakes, but to act on what we have learned. The W2I project developed by MIGS will play a key-role in moving our elected representatives to lead in the prevention of future mass atrocity crimes"
-L.Gen (Ret.), the Honourable Roméo A. Dallaire, MIGS' Senior Fellow

About W2I

The Will to Intervene (W2I) Project is a crucial research initiative that focuses on the prevention of genocide and other mass atrocity crimes. After the terrible events that took place in Rwanda and Kosovo, genocide experts seek to understand how to pressure political leaders to act in a preventive manner to halt massive human rights abuses before they escalate into genocide.
