• There are Turks who don't admit that their ancestors committed genocide. If you look at it though, they seem to be nice people… So why don't they admit it? Because they think that genocide is a bad thing which they would never want to commit, and because they can't believe their ancestors would do such a thing either.

• It was measured that the splinters of the Armenian nation that had managed to miraculously escape the Genocide would not be able to recover from the blow, would disappear in the whirlpools on five continents, lose their national identity, and aptitude to be a political factor. But we, as a nation and as a state, were able to reappear at the international arena to affirm that we continue our eternal journey and that we are determined not to allow for such a crime to ever happen again.

• Los que vivimos en campos de concentración podemos recordar a los hombres que caminaban por las barracas consolando a los demás, regalando su último trozo de pan. Puede que fueran pocos, pero son prueba suficiente de que a un hombre se le puede arrebatar todo menos una cosa: la última de las libertades humanas: elegir la propia actitud en cualquier circunstancia, elegir el propio camino.

• When I was very young, biology, the diversity of life, was one of my main interests. I know there's this image people have that I'm this spoiled, cocky punk of an actor. Honestly, that's not who I am. I really care that so many species have been wiped out, like genocide of entire races. I believe in the divine right of all species to survive on this planet. So I decided I want to be active as an environmentalist. I learned. I asked experts. I got active.

• En el caso de Yugoslavia contra la OTAN, una de las acusaciones era de genocidio. Estados Unidos apeló al tribunal, diciendo que, por ley, Estados Unidos es inmune a la acusación de genocidio, autoinmune, y el tribunal lo aceptó, por lo que el caso procedió contra las otras potencias de la OTAN pero no contra Estados Unidos.

• We'd better work hard on getting rid of that must - Other people must do what I want them to do!" It's what makes people hostile, nasty, mean and combative, and it leads to feuds, wars and genocide. We'd better do something about that.

• De nuestras mejores cualidades surgen las peores. De nuestro impulso a unirnos surge nuestra tendencia a destrozarnos unos a otros. De nuestra devoción por un bien superior surge nuestra propensión a las atrocidades más viles. De nuestro compromiso con los ideales surge nuestra excusa para odiar. Desde el principio de la historia, nos ha cegado la capacidad del mal para disfrazarse de altruismo. No hemos sabido ver que nuestras mejores cualidades a menudo nos conducen a las acciones que más aborrecemos: el asesinato, la tortura, el genocidio y la guerra.

• Human nature was all about shifting blame...and responsibility. How else could you explain concentration camps and genocide and all the awful things people did to each other every day? They just carried on life and pretended like the evil didn't exist, as long as it was happening out of their direct view.

• People don't simply wake up one day and commit genocide. They start by setting themselves apart from others, diminishing the stature of those adhering to dissenting beliefs in small, insidious steps. They begin by saying, 'We're the righteous, and we'll tolerate those others.' And as the toleration diminishes over time, the inevitable harms are overlooked. It is for that reason that James Madison wisely wrote that 'it is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties'.

• La importancia del término "genocidio" para muchos Pueblos Indígenas es que es más que un término o una acusación; es una palabra creada a raíz de la Shoah en Europa para describir lo que ocurre cuando un pueblo es objetivo de un gobierno para su exterminio, como lo fueron los judíos de Europa, y que es el término utilizado en la legislación internacional más importante relacionada con los Pueblos Indígenas afectados, como la única legislación internacional de derechos humanos que se refiere específicamente a colectividades de personas y no a individuos.

• Europe has another meaning for me. Every time I mention that word, I see the Bosnian family in front of me, living far away from whatever they call home and eating their own wonderful food because that's all that is left for them. The fact remains that after fifty years, it was possible to have another war in Europe; that it was possible to change borders; that genocide is still possible even today.
