'[Note: potential trigger in first two paragraphs of original text] ...

People can be tracked down and prosecuted, but when governments commit murder, torture, or rape – on a massive scale – it's nearly impossible to seek justice. We’re on the verge of changing that!

More than 100 countries support a groundbreaking new UN treaty outlawing crimes against humanity. But powerful dictatorships like China and Russia are trying to stop it!

Insiders involved in the negotiations tell us that international pressure is the key to building a big enough majority to block the blockers.

The key UN committee meets in six weeks. If we can swing a few more countries, we can take the outcome out of the despots’ hands. So sign now and we’ll hand-deliver our voices to the delegates at the General Assembly!
