Cuando alguien como Stephane Hessel llama a la insurreccion pacifica», a desperezarse, a rebelarse, hay que escucharlo. Porque Hessel, a sus 93 anos, sabe de lo que habla: miembro de la Resistencia francesa, superviviente de Buchenwald, militante a favor de la independencia argelina y defensor de la causa palestina, este eterno luchador es, ademas, el unico redactor aun vivo de la Declaracion Universal de los Derechos Humanos de 1948. Por eso, cuando reclama un motivo de indignacion» para todos, hay que hacerle caso. Porque las razones para indignarse pueden parecer hoy menos nitidas, o el mundo demasiado complejo», pero siguen ahi, en la dictadura de los mercados, en el trato a los inmigrantes, a las minorias etnicas. Busquen y encontraran», nos dice, tomen la estafeta, indignense!», porque la peor actitud es la indiferencia. Si se comportan asi, perderan uno de los componentes esenciales que forman al hombre: la facultad de indignacion y el compromiso que la sigue». Un mensaje que ya ha contagiado a mas de un millon y medio de lectores en Francia. Indignate! Hoy se trata de no sucumbir bajo el huracan destructor del consumismo voraz y de la distraccion mediatica mientras nos aplican los recortes. Indignate! Sin violencia». Jose Luis Sampedro

Human Rights

Within days of Madeleine Albright's confirmation as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in 1993, she instructed David Scheffer to spearhead the historic mission to create a war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. As senior adviser to Albright and then as President Clinton's ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues, Scheffer was at the forefront of the efforts that led to criminal tribunals for the Balkans, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Cambodia, and that resulted in the creation of the permanent International Criminal Court. All the Missing Souls is Scheffer's gripping insider's account of the international gamble to prosecute those responsible for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, and to redress some of the bloodiest human rights atrocities in our time.

Scheffer reveals the truth behind Washington's failures during the 1994 Rwandan genocide and the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, the anemic hunt for notorious war criminals, how American exceptionalism undercut his diplomacy, and the perilous quests for accountability in Kosovo and Cambodia. He takes readers from the killing fields of Sierra Leone to the political back rooms of the U.N. Security Council, providing candid portraits of major figures such as Madeleine Albright, Anthony Lake, Richard Goldstone, Louise Arbour, Samuel "Sandy" Berger, Richard Holbrooke, and Wesley Clark, among others.

A stirring personal account of an important historical chapter, All the Missing Souls provides new insights into the continuing struggle for international justice.
