26334 - Genocide and Condemnation

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

Everyone who has read the Russian writer Dostoevsky knows what the graveness and the value of the work: Crime and Punishment. But even them, they don’t completely realize what that means on a practical level for Humanity. While there is the context of Genocide which makes it absolutely comprehendible. In fact with the recent condemnations of the two Mayors in the case of the genocide in Rwanda which took place in 1994, the notion of the correction process is also explained. Because this genocide has been recognized on an international level and its anniversary on April 7th is official internationally. But this certainly is not the end. The entire case continues also at the International Court of Justice and the convictions of barbarians, of those responsible for criminal acts of genocide continue incessantly. Genocide and condemnation is the analogous of crime and punishment, only that now it is not only about the work of an intellectual, but about a concrete reality. We are no longer in the stage of recognition which many think that it is the final one, not even in the stage of penalization. We continue far beyond in the correcting process so that the genociders understand that Time is with us and that we will not forget their crimes neither their punishment, because genocide has as a future only condemnation.
