'The global community has failed to curb the rapacity of the domineering powers and the guerrilla tactics of the terrorists'. Analyse.

Solution

The global community has failed to curb the rapacity of the domineering powers and the guerrilla tactics of the terrorists: 

(i)It has also often served as a mute spectator of genocide — the systematic massacre of an entire group of people.

(ii)This became particularly evident in Rwanda — an African country that witnessed the murder of nearly half a million Tutsis by Hutus during 1994.

(iii)Despite the availability of intelligence before the killing began and subsequent international media coverage of the genocide as it unfolded, there was no international intervention.

(iv)The UN refused to authorise its peace-keeping operation in Rwanda to stop the carnage.
