The twentieth century has been called, not inaccurately, a century of genocide. And the beginning of the twenty-first century has seen little change, with genocidal violence in Darfur, Congo, Sri Lanka, and Syria. Why is genocide so widespread, and so difficult to stop, across societies that differ so much culturally, technologically, and politically? That is the question that this collection addresses, offering a range of perspectives from different disciplines to attempt to understand the pervasiveness of genocidal violence.

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. Ewelina U.

Invité à donner une conférence en Ukraine dans la ville de Lviv, autrefois Lemberg, Philippe Sands, avocat international réputé, découvre une série de coïncidences historiques qui le conduiront de Lemberg à Nuremberg, des secrets de sa famille à l'histoire universelle. C'est à Lemberg que Leon Buchholz, son grand-père, passe son enfance avant de fuir, échappant ainsi à l'Holocauste qui décima sa famille ; c'est là que Hersch Lauterpacht et Raphael Lemkin, deux juristes juifs qui jouèrent un rôle déterminant lors du procès de Nuremberg et auxquels nous devons les concepts de " crime contre l'humanité " et de " génocide ", étudient le droit dans l'entre-deux guerres. C'est là enfin que Hans Frank, haut dignitaire nazi, annonce, en 1942, alors qu'il est Gouverneur général de Pologne, la mise en place de la " Solution finale " qui condamna à la mort des millions de Juifs. Parmi eux, les familles Lauterpacht, Lemkin et Buchholz. Philippe Sands transcende les genres dans cet extraordinaire témoignage où s'entrecroisent enquête palpitante et méditation profonde sur le pouvoir de la mémoire.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Le génocide des Tutsi au Rwanda est un fait juridique indéniable. Il hante les relations entre ce pays et le monde occidental en général et la France en particulier. Le cas français est à cet effet un terrain intellectuel et scientifique de premier ordre dès lors qu'il a participé au drame rwandais bien avant l'année tragique de 1994. Les dossiers individuels traités à ce jour « Au nom du Peuple français » par la justice française sont discutés, jugés, contestés. Cet ouvrage collectif entend mettre en évidence les dossiers judiciaires relatifs au génocide des Tutsi au Rwanda à partir du cas de la France et des décisions et arrêts des juridictions internationales, européennes, constitutionnelles, administratives et judiciaires."
