Genocide at the Millennium is the fifth volume in the acclaimed
series Genocide: A Critical Bibliographical Review. This latest
volume's focus is both the genocidal activity that has taken place
over the past fourteen years (including that in Rwanda and the
former Yugoslavia) as well as a critique of the international
community's response to genocide and potential genocidal situations
(including those of the United Nations and nongovernmental
organizations). Genocide at the Millennium is divided into ten
chapters. The opening chapter treats the Yugoslav genocide,
discussing the causes of the conflict, the violence that ensued,
the reaction of the international community, and the ramifications
that are still being felt in that part of the world today. Chapter
2 provides a detailed and thought-provoking examination of the
causes, results and ramifications of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
Chapter 3 examines the conflict in Kosovo and the events
surrounding the controversial intervention by NATO. Chapter 4
discusses the remarkable efforts and successes that various
non-governmental agencies have had in addressing a wide variety of
issues related to genocide. Chapter 5 examines the United Nations'
efforts to address the issue of genocide at the turn of the
century. The role of individual states confronting issues and cases
of genocide is analyzed in chapter 6. Chapter 7 gives a solid
overview of the evolution of international law as it pertains to
the crime of genocide and how and why major changes in such law
have begun to take place in the 1990s and early 2000s. The
international criminal tribunals for Rwanda and the former
Yugoslavia are considered in chapters 8 and 9. The concluding
chapter provides an extremely detailed and highly informative
overview of key aspects of the International Criminal Court. In
keeping with the multidisciplinary approach of previous volumes in
the series, each of the essays and accompanying annotated
bibliographies have been written by experts in their fields, many
of whom have worked for many years wrestling the thorny, and often
horrific, issues germane to the issue of genocide.
