[Noam Chomsky’s condemnation in the end]

In Pursuit of Peace

International Crisis Group’s goal is as ambitious as it is vital: to mobilise leaders around the globe to prevent and end deadly conflict. Each year, the In Pursuit of Peace Award Dinner recognises individuals for their outstanding contributions to the advancement of peace and security. This year, we will honor two presidents for their visionary leadership to effect profound social, economic and political changes in their countries, and their efforts to bring us closer to a world free of conflict. Please join us in recognising their leadership in pursuit of peace.

“On Monday [22 Apr 2013], the Human Rights Watch will give the world evidence of the Thein Sein regime-involved ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya and the ‘crimes against humanity’ in Myanmar. We live in the world misruled and/or mismanaged by the likes of the International Crisis Group. Please register your outrage, disgust and any other condemnation of such a blatant act of in-humanity displayed by the ICG in New York. ‘States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions.’
―Noam Chomsky”
