"Installée le 18 octobre 2016, la Mission ministérielle d'étude en France sur la recherche et l'enseignement des génocides et des crimes de masse a remis au gouvernement un rapport de 1 700 pages dont la synthèse générale est publiée ici. Une équipe internationale de soixante-cinq chercheurs et professeurs a travaillé durant deux années pour établir un large bilan des savoirs sur les violences extrêmes, leur étendue dans le temps et leurs univers de destruction, entraînant l'anéantissement de populations entières, révélant la puissance exterminatrice d'États et d'idéologies. Cette enquête sans équivalent atteste des connaissances élaborées depuis plus de vingt ans, depuis que le génocide des Tutsi du Rwanda a démontré que la Shoah ne serait plus la dernière catastrophe et qu'il convenait alors d'intensifier toutes les recherches. Celles-ci sont capables aujourd'hui de fonder des progrès convergents, tant dans l'enseignement et l'éducation que dans la muséographie et la documentation. Ces nouvelles connaissances s'appliquent à penser les univers de la mise à mort de masse, la résistance et le témoignage des victimes, le choix des justes comme la logique des bourreaux, les "avant" et les "après" qui redéfinissent les processus génocidaires, la politique des nations et le défi du droit, la volonté de déshumanisation et le devoir d'humanité. De telles avancées heuristiques appellent des politiques de soutien. Sur la base de ses travaux, la Mission présente au gouvernement d'importantes recommandations pour doter nos sociétés des savoirs nécessaires à l'engagement contre les génocides, les crimes de masse, les violences extrêmes et les esclavages"

These original essays show how the US government repeatedly aided certain regimes as they planned and then carried out crimes against humanity and genocide. What makes the collection unique—and chilling—is the inclusion of declassified documents generated by the US government at the time: memoranda, telegrams, letters, talking points, cables, discussion papers, and situation reports. In his introduction, Totten offers a critical assessment of US foreign policy as it pertains to genocide and crimes against humanity, and discusses the differences between those two terms. In the chapters that follow, each author presents a detailed analysis of a particular case of crimes against humanity or genocide by a foreign government against its own citizens, and discusses why and how the United States government was complicit.

2015 was the seventieth anniversary of the end of World War Two, and, for Jews, the seventieth anniversary of the end of the worst Jewish catastrophe in diaspora history. After Genocide considers how, more than two generations since the war, the events of the Holocaust continue to haunt Jewish people and the worldwide Jewish population, even where there was no immediate family connection. Drawing from interviews with "ordinary" Jews from across the age spectrum, After Genocide focuses on the complex psychological legacy of the Holocaust. Is it, as many think, a "collective trauma"? How is a community detached in space and time traumatised by an event which neither they nor their immediate ancestors experienced?"Ordinary" Jews' own words bring to life a narrative which looks at how commonly-recognised attributes of trauma - loss, anger, fear, guilt, shame - are integral to Jewish reactions to the Holocaust.

This book is the single most important English-language publication on the demographic profile of Armenians in the late Ottoman Empire. It is based on a plethora of published and archival records, especially Armenian language materials that have not been cited in English language academic works. Such records are discussed at some length and should be an eyeopener to readers. Karayan also takes direct issue with some conventional works on the demography of the Ottoman Empire based on official Turkish archives. He makes a particularly poignant case study of his ancestral town of Aintab, showing the strength of the materials at his disposal and the weakness of official Turkish accounts for the city. Karayan lists over 4,000 Armenian inhabited towns and villages, replete with their old and new names, geographical coordinates, Armenian population as well as sources. According to Karayan, Ottoman Armenians numbered close to 2.5 million on the eve of WWI and the number who were lost in the Armenian Genocide was over 2 million people. His work includes a comprehensive index of village names for the perusal of readers.

This perceptive book analyzes the scope of the duty to prevent genocide of China, France, Russia, the UK, and the US in light of the due diligence standard under conventional, customary, and peremptory international law. It expounds the positive obligations of these five states to act both within and without the Security Council context to prevent or suppress an imminent or ongoing genocide.
