Introduction
A few words on Gregory Stanton's excellent analysis below. It stands at the center of work by scholars on genocide, and makes the essential point that we all should take to heart-early warning is not enough; we must create and foster the international institutions to predict and prevent it. And he does mention the role of democracy, but if I may offer my only criticism, tends to bury it among other factors. Work and data on this website, however, well show that democracy is at the center. The way to solve the horror of mass murder by tyrants is to foster democratic freedom. The international institutions that we should promote are those uniting and organizing democracies as an international force toward this end (see commentary 6/17/03 ). June 9, 2003
