State Responses to Crimes of Genocide

The book examines the ongoing failure to prevent genocide, despite the establishment of the Genocide Convention after WWII. It highlights a series of atrocities, including those in Cambodia, Rwanda, and most recently against religious and ethnic minorities in Syria, Myanmar, Nigeria, and China. Each incident illustrates the inadequacy of global responses and the repeated unfulfilled promise of "Never Again." The author seeks to identify necessary changes to improve our ability to prevent such crimes in the future, addressing a grim legacy and the urgent need for effective action.
