Last week, theReligious Liberty Initiative of Notre Dame Law Schoolhosted a book launch celebrating Lord David Alton and Ewelina Ochab's recent book, State Responses to Crimes of Genocide: What Went Wrong and How to Change It.
Following the 1948 drafting of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, it was undoubtedly the hope of all those involved that the atrocities enacted by the Nazi regime would never again be witnessed. While, arguably, there has been no incident of genocide comparable in either scale or horror of method, this book argues that the global response to occurring incidents of genocide since WWII has been utterly inadequate.
