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.
