7. The Vulnerability of the Powerless — the Protection of the Vulnerable as the Test of a Just Society
The genocide of Khojali people occurred not only because of the vulnerability of the powerless, but also because of the powerlessness of the vulnerable.
It is our responsibility as citizens of the world to give voice to the voiceless, as we seek to empower the powerless — be they the disabled, the poor, the refugee, the elderly, the women victims of violence, the vulnerable child — the most vulnerable of the vulnerable.
We remember – and we trust – that never again will we be silent or indifferent in the face of evil.
