Program Description
Since the horrors of the Holocaust, the mantra "Never Again" has been repeated in an effort to prevent a repeat in one of humanity's darkest hours. Even after the approval of the Genocide Convention by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, the international community continues to struggle and overcome the challenges presented by genocides. In the past 60 years since the Genocide Convention, ironically, mass murder has continued to take place in countries such as Cambodia, Kosovo, Rwanda, and even up to the present day conflict in Darfur, Sudan.Present day conflicts of genocide are often rooted in deep geopolitical conflict dating back to the pre-colonization era. As the world continues to become increasingly intertwined with the rapid effects of globalization, the fight for natural resources and minerals, food, land, and water become an underlying tone for present day genocide. In this two-part PULSE session, students will move a step beyond exploring the concept of genocide by looking into its modern day context of geopolitical struggles.
