Description
This book defines genocide, distinguishing it from mass murder, war crimes, and other atrocities; allows readers to grasp the magnitude of the crime of genocide across time and throughout human civilization; and facilitates an understanding of new and potential cases of genocide as they occur. • Illustrates the myriad problems inherent in genocide prevention and in the punishment of perpetrators • Analyzes why the nation-states that have the capacity to prevent or intervene against a genocide typically avoid doing so • Discusses the nature of and reasons underlying genocide denial • Examines the different kinds and scales of the impact of genocide on victim groups and on the perpetrators
