State Responses to Crimes of Genocide

The book explores the persistent failure of global leaders to prevent genocide despite the establishment of the Genocide Convention after WWII. It highlights numerous genocides since then, including those in Cambodia, Rwanda, and against religious minorities in Syria and Iraq, illustrating the inadequate responses to these atrocities. The author poses critical questions about what changes are necessary to effectively address and prevent future genocides, emphasizing the urgent need for a more robust and proactive international approach.
