The Genocide Convention at 70

In December 2018, the world will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide – a watershed moment in the development of international human rights and the idea that all states have a legal as well as moral interest in the way states treat their own citizens. Understanding how states have used the Convention – both in theory and in practice – can help us collectively think about the Convention’s contributions to preventing and punishing the crime of genocide. It also raises questions about the potential for other legal instruments that could address crimes against humanity. In commemoration of the 70th anniversary, the Ferencz International Justice Initiative at the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum has commissioned an extensive study of the United States Government’s experience in dealing with these issues.
