“The Future of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity”

Tuesday, April 13  7 p.m.

Adam Jones, associate professor of political science at the University of British Columbia Okanagan

The laws regarding genocide and crimes against humanity are intimately interlinked, arising from the same impulse to establish international humanitarian norms and laws that have developed over the past century. In his talk, Adam Jones outlines the laws pertaining to genocide and crimes against humanity, explores their areas of crossover and mutual influence, and gauges what the future holds in both the legal and social-political spheres for these attempts to grasp and confront some of humanity’s most enduring evils.

An internationally recognized expert in Holocaust and genocide studies, Jones is the author or editor of a dozen books, including Crimes Against Humanity: A Beginner’s Guide, Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction, and Gendercide and Genocide. He is the executive director of Gendercide Watch, a Web-based educational initiative that confronts gender-selective atrocities against men and women worldwide.

All Sidore lectures are free and open to the public, but reservations are recommended. A reception follows each lecture. Lectures are presented in the Smith Recital Hall in the Silver Center for the Arts, unless otherwise noted.

For reservations or to arrange special accommodations, call (603) 535-ARTS.
