Description

Subject Area: History

The aim of 'Holocaust and Genocide' is to encourage an understanding of the phenomenon of genocide through incidences of mass killing of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The course begins with a four-week intensive study of the Holocaust, moving on from there to examine more recent acts of genocide and mass killing in Cambodia, Bosnia and Rwanda. The course also looks closely at the United Nations Genocide Convention and its role in the definition and prevention of genocide, as well as the International Criminal Court, so as to have an understanding of the role of the international community in the creation, and the prevention of such events.
