Preventing Genocide - Vision Series Lecture
Ph.D., University of Milan
M.A.equivalent, University of Rome
Andrea Bartoli, Drucie French Cumbie Chair at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution
Sixty years after the signing of the International Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, we are still struggling to understand genocidal trends and to respond to threats appropriately. Too many times, signs of impending genocides were not identified, appreciated, and acted upon, which created conditions for a re-emergence of new forms. Preventing genocide is a collective enterprise of knowledge management, strategic ingenuity and political will. Dr. Bartoli delves into this urgent issue, examining the tremendous challenges facing the prevention efforts, and the progress and failures, that have resulted thus far.
