Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | It is virtually impossible to understand the phenomenon of genocide without a clear understanding of the complexities of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (UNCG). This brief but cogent book provides an introduction to the unique wording, legal terminology, and key components of the convention, which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. Providing clarity on the distinctions between genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing, this book is designed to be an entry into further study of genocide in its legal, historical, political, and philosophical dimensions. Key terms, such as intent and motive, are explained, case studies are included, and a detailed bibliography at the conclusion of the book offers suggested avenues for more advanced study of the UNCG. "The goal of this book is to help students and practitioners understand the UNCG, so that they can: a) Ascertain whether a case constitutes genocide or not and if so, why that is, b) Have a reference tool each time an issue arises that requires close analysis as to whether a case constitutes genocide, c) Better understand the complexities and ambiguities of the UNCG"-- |
