Site dedicated to analyzing how better methods can be developed to anticipate and prevent genocide. It will focus on ongoing activism, innovative use of information technology, and the international community's efforts to respond.
Genocide prevention, or the "responsibility to protect" as the UN also speaks about the issue is an ongoing responsibility if only because we can not escape the all too recent past.

Genocide Prevention Month

Written by nowickedwitch on

A time when we can look forward to many written harangues reminding us this is the month to remember genocide, more specifically 6 acts of genocide/mass atrocities which have anniversaries this month, Darfur, Rwanda, Bosnia, Cambodia, the Holocaust and Armenia.

Genocide will continue with history, politics, greed, or some ridiculous academic speak as an excuse, belying the fact ... Read Full Story
