Committee on Conscience
Committee on Conscience
The Committee on Conscience mandate is to alert the national conscience, influence policy makers, and stimulate worldwide action to confront and work to halt acts of genocide or related crimes against humanity. It has been said that "conscience whispers while interest screams aloud." In a world where the clamor of interests often prevails, the Committee seeks to amplify the voice of conscience.
