Rom茅o Dallaire

Rom茅o Dallaire was the leader of the United Nation (UN) peacekeeping mission in Rwanda, launched in 1993 and known as the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR). Dallaire, a Dutch-born French-Canadian, spent most of his career in the Canadian military until achieving the rank of Lieutenant-General. He commanded several national and international missions. Founded in 1993, UNAMIR was assigned the demanding task to observe and support Rwanda through the implementation of the Arusha Accords, a peace agreement following a brutal civil war. Despite Dallaire鈥檚 efforts, tensions worsened and reached a breaking point following the death of Rwandan president Juv茅nal Habyarimana in a mysterious plane crash. Extremist elements of Rwanda鈥檚 state military, the Hutu-majority Rwandan Armed Forces (FAR), blamed the Tutsi-backed RPF for the death of the President, which it used to justify the systemic murder Tutsi civilians. Dallaire and his underequipped forces moved to safeguard Hutu moderate politicians who had kept peace negotiations on the table. However, the underequipped UNAMIR forces whose mission only allowed for the use of force in self-defense, failed to protect key figures, including a moderate politician who would likely have become the next president. Dallaire emphatically lobbied the international community for assistance, insisting that civilian lives were in danger and that a force of just five thousand well-armed UNAMIR troops could stop the genocide. UNAMIR received no such reinforcement. In his book, Dallaire painstakingly details the efforts to save as many civilians as possible, which involved negotiating directly with the g茅nocidaires, inspiring the name of the book, 鈥淪hake Hands with the Devil.鈥� Dallaire鈥檚 story reveals why the UN had to reconsider its protocols for genocide intervention after 1994: to honor its commitment to preserving human life.
