State Responses to Crimes of Genocide - What Went Wrong and How to Change It (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022): Ewelina U. Ochab, David... State Responses to Crimes of Genocide - What Went Wrong and How to Change It (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)

At the time of drafting the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention), the drafters were hopeful that the document will be the response needed to ensure that the world would never again witness such atrocities as committed by the Nazi regime. While, arguably, there has been no such great loss of human lives as during WWII, genocidal incidents have and still take place. After WWII, we have witnessed the genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, Darfur, to name only a few. The responses to these atrocities have always been inadequate. Every time the world leaders would come together to renew their promise of 'Never Again'. However, the promise has never materialised. In 2014, Daesh unleashed genocide against religious minorities in Syria and Iraq. Before the world managed to shake off from the atrocities, in 2016, the Burmese military launched a genocidal campaign against the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. This was followed by reports of ever-growing atrocities against Christian minorities in Nigeria. Without waiting too long, in 2018, China proceeded with its genocidal campaign against the Uyghur Muslims. In 2020, the Tigrayans became the victims of ethnic targeting. Five cases of mass atrocities that, in the space of just five years, all easily meet the legal definition of genocide. Again, the response that followed each case has been inadequate and unable to make a difference to the targeted communities. This legacy does not give much hope for the future. The question that this books hopes to address is what needs to change to ensure that we are better equipped to address genocide and prevent the crime in the future.

North Korea, Asia's tragic and prodigal son, is long overdue returning to the embrace of the international community--if only the political and military powers have the courage to seize it

For 60 years North Korea has had neither war nor peace; simply an Armistice signed in 1953--it is this lack of resolution that has perpetuated instability, fear, and a risk of further tragedy. Behind the backdrop is the ever-present danger of a major conflict and this book suggests that there is a better way to relate to the pariah state. There are many issues to be addressed, including serious concerns over the grave, systematic, and widespread violation of human rights, reported executions, torture, violations of religious freedom, and humanitarian concerns. Although the obstacles are gigantic, there is still hope for a better future and this book argues that through patient but firm engagement, this situation is capable of resolution. Distinguishing between an antipathy toward a decaying political ideology and a love of the dignified and courageous Korean people must remain the central concern--one must encourage the tiny shoots of hope and, above all, build bridges through constructive, critical engagement.

This book documents the history of religious persecution, especially focusing on early Jewish and Christian experiences and the culmination of horrors in the Nazi era, in which six million Jews, over a million Catholics, and many others were put to death for their beliefs. The book then focuses on the many types of religious intolerance in the world today, particularly the genocide against Christians in the Middle East and Africa, and resurgent Anti-Semitism in the Middle East, Europe and even the United States. The book concludes by discussing how we work together to preserve the ancient civilizations that provided roots for both Christians and Jews so that their populace and historical artifacts are safe from destruction and their cultural and religious heritage are preserved.
