Genocide in the 20th Century

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Genocide is among the most horrific crimes the human race commits against itself. Sadly, genocide is still a major international issue, though the last century witnessed major international efforts towards the prevention and cessation of genocide. This book examines the history of genocide in the modern world with in-depth discussion of ten significant instances in the 20th century. It also examines recent international actions directly relating to genocide, including humanitarian law, the International Criminal Court and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
