Words without deeds violates the moral and legal obligation we have under the genocide convention but, more importantly, violates our sense of right and wrong and the standards we have as human beings about looking to care for one another.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of taking action and not just relying on words. Merely expressing support or condemnation without backing it up with tangible actions goes against our moral and legal responsibilities, particularly in preventing genocide as mandated by the genocide convention. Moreover, it undermines our innate understanding of what is right and wrong, and the universal standards we hold as humans to seek and provide care for one another.
