he 20 century was a century of
th
wars, of genocide and of conflicts.
T TUnprecedented in world history,
that century was marked with bloodshed.
It was the period when the images of
millions of people losing their lives rolled
before our very eyes. Again in that century,
tens of millions were forced from their
homes, lost their loved ones or became
maimed, injured or disabled. New states
were established and many others
collapsed, and that had tremendous
repercussions in world history. That
century witnessed two world wars, of truly
global dimensions, unlike those in
preceding centuries. In the past, only a few
countries were involved in wars and a
limited number of front lines served as the
scenes of these disasters. However, during
the First World War alone, nine million
people died and more than twenty million
people were wounded, and in the Second
World war at least fifty-five million people
lost their lives.
The reality is that the worst-hit victims
are not the combatants but the millions of
civilians caught in cross-fires and the
women, children and the elderly who were
massacred. People became all too familiar
