Jan Eliasson, UN Deputy Secretary-General
UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson's said in New York at the event marking the twentieth anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda: "In September 2005, Member States endorsed the concept of Responsibility to Protect. I was very proud to be the President of the General Assembly at that time. In recent years we have also taken steps to strengthen genocide prevention, conflict resolution, the protection of civilians, the rule of law and human rights mechanisms. As a result, the United Nations and the international system are now better prepared to anticipate, prevent and, I would strongly hope, respond to crises." Recalling Syria, Sudan, Central African Republic....the phrase 'delusions of grandeur' comes to mind.
