As part of our continuing series exploring contemporary reponses to Genocide, we present a panel discussion entitled "Genocide and the 'Responsibility to Protect': The Evolution of International Law"
RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT (“RtoP” or “R2P”) is a new international political/legal norm developed to address the international community’s failure to prevent and stop genocides, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. A distinguished panel will explore the evolution of the developing norm, its current status in law and politics, and its greatest challenges going forward.
Panelists include:
• Roberta Cohen, Non-Resident Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Studies program at the Brookings Institution and Senior Adviser to the Brookings-Bern Project on Internal Displacement
• Doris Mpoumou, Director of the International Coalition for the Responsibility to Protect (invited)
• Sheri Rosenberg, Professor of Clinical Law and Director of the Human Rights and Genocide Clinic and Program in Holocaust and Human Rights Studies at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
• Matthew Waxman, Associate Professor of Law at Columbia University and Adjunct Senior Fellow for Law and Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations
• Nicole Deller, Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, Moderator
A tour of the related exhibition, “Letters of Conscience: Raphael Lemkin and the Quest to End Genocide,” will precede the program at 6:00 p.m.
$15 general, $12 CJH, YUM members, YU faculty, staff, $5 students
