For. if we are to remain true to this heritage. it is imperative that the Senate go on record. once and for all. against the tragic excesses of war and civilian destruction. and finally vote to uphold the Genocide Treaty. Mr. President. as chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. I have seen firsthand the waste of violence and the human toll involved in genocidal conflict. The Refugee Subcommittees hearings are replete with examples of massive destruction and misery. as well as unprecedented human suffering. created by modern conflict. This burden of strife which. in a very real way. is shared by all of the world. is due. in large part. to the senseless consequences of minority oppression. The purposeful ideals of the Genocide Convention seek to deter such tyranny.
