Although he and his UN troops did not have the mandate to intervene in the genocide that occurred there, he did not freeze in the face of horror. Against political pressure to take sides in the conflict, Dallaire remained impartial, and his courage, compassion and integrity has since earned him much recognition.

Understanding violence and learning non-violent approaches is key to prevention and peace building.
