Romeo Dallaire Biography

The keynotes of Lieutenant-General Romeo Dallaire address a topic that is both timely and thought-provoking: international war. Third-world development is an urgent problem that must be addressed, as it often leads to horrific tragedies such as the Rwandan Genocide, which Dallaire played a key role in preventing. His efforts in Rwanda, as well as his ill-fated attempts to end the violence through the United Nations, are well-known. Dallaire is a senior fellow at the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies, and his humanitarian work has influenced people all around the world. He is the author of the best-selling novel 'Shake Hands with the Devil,' which is based on his firsthand experience with the Rwanda genocide. Dallaire joined the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery after graduating from the Royal Military College of Canada in 1970. He was a fellow at Harvard University's Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, taught human rights at a number of Canadian and American colleges, and was a strong champion for veterans' mental health awareness. Dallaire has been awarded the Legion of Merit, the Aegis Trust Award, and is an officer of the Order of Canada for his work in Rwanda.
