Description

This course has a three-fold purpose: 1) to investigate the socio-historical origins of the tragic and inhumane acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing; 2) to study, compare, and contrast cases of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the twentieth century; 3) to see how the international community has coalesced,
largely through new international institutions and international law, to combat these acts, which are now legally classified as crimes against humanity. Course readings include memoirs of genocide survivors and documents enshrining international law. Meets General Education
