Resumen:
| US Department of State Dispatch, March 23, 1992 by Bermard W. Aronson Statement before the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs of the House Foriegn Affairs Committee, March 12, 1992 |
| I appreciate this opportunity to discuss the Communist Party of Peru--usually known as Sendero Luminoso, or Shining Path--with you. I want to begin by commending you, Mr. Chairman, and the members of this subcommittee for devoting your attention to one of the most important, and least discussed, issues in this hemisphere. |
| A little over a half century ago, Nazi Germany exterminated one-third of the Jewish population in the world--mothers, fathers, and children--while the world stood by and failed to stop it. After the Holocaust, the world community vowed "Never again." But in the 1970s, in Cambodia under Pol Pot, we saw genocide repeated. We need to learn that lesson and never repeat it again. |
| We welcome these hearings and asked that you hold them to stimulate public discussion about an important policy issue. The congressional foreign affairs committees have a long tradition of fostering public discussion of difficult foreign policy questions. Under your leadership, Mr. Chairman, this subcommittee has focused public attention on key questions concerning US interests in this hemisphere. It is in that spirit that I asked the opportunity to testify. |
| What I would like to do is begin |
