"At the end of the Second World War so many people said 'if only we had known... if only we had known the wrongs that were done in the countries of the hostile forces'...Well, now the international community does know... There will be no excusing of failure of action because we didn't know... Too many times in this building there are reports and no action. Well this is a time for action."
-Michael Kirby, chairman of the independent Commission of Inquiry
