"This book critiques the dominant physical and biological interpretation of the Genocide Convention and argues that the idea of "culture" is central to properly understanding the crime of genocide. Using Raphael Lemkin's personal papers, archival materials from the State Department and the UN, as well as the mid-century secondary literature, it situates the convention in the longstanding debate between Enlightenment notions of universality and individualism, and Romantic notions of particularism and holism. The author conducts a thorough review of the treaty and its preparatory work to show that the drafters brought strong culturalist ideas to the debate and that Lemkin's ideas were held widely in the immediate postwar period. Reconstructing the mid-century conversation on genocide and situating it in the much broader mid-century discourse on justice and society he demonstrates that culture is not a distraction to be read out of the Genocide Convention; it is the very reason it exists"--

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."
