"Never again" stands as one the central pledges of the
international community following the end of the Second World War,
upon full realization of the massive scale of the Nazi
extermination programme. Genocide stands as an intolerable assault
on a sense of common humanity embodied in the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights and other fundamental international instruments,
including the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the
Crime of Genocide and the United Nations Charter. And yet, since
the Second World War, the international community has proven
incapable of effectively preventing the occurrence of more
genocides in places like Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda and Sudan. Is
genocide actually preventable, or is "ever again" a more accurate
catchphrase to capture the reality of this phenomenon? The essays
in this volume explore the complex nature of genocide and the
relative promise of various avenues identified by the international
community to attempt to put a definitive end to its occurrence.
Essays focus on a conceptualization of genocide as a social and
political phenomenon, on the identification of key actors
(Governments, international institutions, the media, civil society,
individuals), and on an exploration of the relative promise of
different means to prevent genocide (criminal accountability, civil
disobedience, shaming, intervention).
