Doing something

Mohammad al Abdallah puts it well in his acceptance speech for the Anne Frank Award to the Syrian Justice and Accountability Center (SJAC) from the Dutch government:

“We are not going to sit there, watch and do nothing.”

Caveat emptor: I sit on the Board of SJAC. I don’t think justice and accountability are coming soon, but it takes people of courage and generosity (notice how much time he spends encouraging support for institutions other than SJAC) to make sure they overcome some day.
