| Summary/Abstract |
APRIL 2014 marked twenty years since the beginning of the genocide of the Tutsi of Rwanda; organized by the Hutu and practically ignored by the key international actors and the UN it went on for three months to shape the future of Rwanda* and echoed across the vast Great Lakes region, first and foremost in the Republic of Zaire (the Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC, since May 1997). Hundreds of thousands of refugees, both Tutsi and Hutu,** created a big seat of tension in the country's east; in 1997, the Mobutu regime fell victim to this tension fanned by inner ethnic and political contradictions which in 1996 had developed into an armed conflict still going on in the east of the DR Congo.

| Summary/Abstract |
IN 2015, the world marked the 70th anniversaries of two key events of the 20th century. One of them was the end of the Great Patriotic War and World War II. The other was the establishment of the United Nations, an organization entrusted with the mission of consolidating peace that had cost so much to achieve. The United Nations' number one objective as stated in its Charter, which came into force on October 24, 1945, is "to maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace..."1 Seven decades later, the organization's ability to follow this commandment by adapting to new threats and challenges is increasingly called into question.
