This panel will bring together experts in food systems, WASH, and health to examine the evidence of a genocidal pattern; explore how and why the international community has allowed it to continue; and consider the implications for global health and humanitarian practice. The session aims to impel reflection and action on what researchers and concerned citizens can do in response—within the York community and in the broader Canadian context.
