ABSTRACT
In light of the horrific crimes against humanity being perpetrated today i.e., in such places as Syria, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Darfur (Sudan), the Nuba Mountains (Sudan), The Republic of South Sudan, Myanmar, North Korea and the lack of concrete actions by the United Nations and individuals states to stanch such crimes, the author's fears for the future of humanity is great. Add to that the projected and looming global crisis as a result of global warming—meaning a dearth of water, farm land, and grazing areas, along with the violent conflicts that are likely to ensue—author’s optimism and hope for a better and more peaceful world is at an all time low. Time will tell. Be that as it may, the author is not about to give up—not on humanity and certainly not in trying to help those who face brutality at the hands of perpetrators of crimes against humanity and genocide.
