That’s something that I will do every day for the rest of my life," said Stuart Hughes, a landmine survivor.We have a convention against genocide, but is it enough?Ken Roth, human rights expert, says: "People feel like, if you don’t call it genocide, then it’s not serious. And that’s a mistake.""We have a genocide convention, and we don’t have a crimes against humanity convention, at least not yet," said Paola Gaeta, professor at the Geneva Graduate Institute. And the Convention against Enforced Disappearances – a protection for families as well as the disappeared.Cordula Droege, from the ICRC, says: "Victims of enforced disappearances are not only those who are disappeared but also those who suffer directly from it, such as the relatives.""He was taken by armed men, and taken to a car, a red car without a plate number, and he disappeared," said Aileen Bacalso. Olivier de Frouville, UN expert on enforced disappearances, adds: "That’s why we describe also for the relatives, who are victims of enforced disappearances, we describe it as torture, because this is real torture."Inside Geneva hears from the people who campaigned to make our world safer, and asks, are we honouring their laws and their sacrifices?Please listen and subscribe to our science podcast -- the Swiss Connection. Get in touch!
