GENOCIDE,HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION AND HUMAN RIGHTS
December 1-3, 2004
Facing History and Ourselves will host a global online conversation
for educators, scholars, and university and graduate students focusing
on the difficult choices individuals, groups, and nations have
confronted - and continue to struggle with - in the face of genocide.
The forum will build upon the issues explored in Facing History and
Ourselves' newest resource book, Crimes Against Humanity and
Civilization: The Genocide of the Armenians, as well as examine the
work of contemporary human rights activists and scholars who challenge
indifference and believe that prevention of genocide is possible.
Facing History and Ourselves staff will facilitate this three-day
online forum with the participation of leading human rights and
Armenian Genocide scholars, including Chair of Modern Armenian History
at the University of California, Los Angeles, Richard Hovannisian.
Smith College Professor and human rights activist Eric Reeves, a
frequent writer and commentator on the genocide in Sudan will also
join us along with Helen Fein, the executive director of the Institute
for the Study of Genocide and the International Association of
Genocide Scholars. The online forum is free of charge, Interested
individuals can RSVP online.
