Pitfalls of a hi-tech fix?
Sounds like the UNHCR has succumbed to a technological fix and without considering what impact publicity has had in refugee situations. Will graphics really have an impact on Darfur? Yes, the Biafra -v- Federal Nigeria war had awful footage; did it change what happened? No. The Pakistani military action in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) was well reported; did the footage affect India's decision to intervene?
Since the publicity sought appears to be aimed at a web aware public, how effectrive has that been to date?
Returning to Darfur, will better graphics that lead to greater public protest cause governments to forcefully intervene?
