This cooperation between nations was at one point a figment of the imagination. The Rwandan genocide is a great example of this. The Rwandan genocide was the result of a long ongoing civil war in Rwanda between rebels and the government that claimed the lives of over 800,000 other human beings. After the genocide occurred they thought about what actions to take and decided that they would not intervene. Their decision not to intervene led to the rebels taking over the nation, to the first and second Congo wars and to a serious reaction that hit France, Belgium and in particular the United States for their indifference (Rwandese Genocide: failure of the community international). . I believe that the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and other events have forced the human race to learn from its mistakes. These events set off drastic wake-up calls that made people and their respective countries realize that they need to help each other when it is necessary to preserve the human race and protect it from events like the Holocaust or the Rwandan genocide all along.
