World's Next Genocide

After learning about the Rwandan genocide, it is scary to think that something like this could happen again. With my understanding of Catholic Social Teaching, the international community is called to respond and end the violence. Their job is not to support a side, but to treat everyone with the same human rights. I believe that Catholic Social Teaching calls us to be aware of this situation and to act quickly. We cannot take this situation lightly and although it is a difficult situation, our country needs to act in order to stop the violence in Syria. It is sad to think that we still cannot accomplish peace in our world. Countries need to realize that war and killing will not make anything better, only worse. With Catholic Social Teaching, it is our job to reach out to those in need and find peace between peoples.
