1:37:39Now PlayingLeading experts discuss the state of atrocity prevention as a growing field of peacebuilding theory and practice.
In 2017, a half-million Rohingya fled attacks on their homes in Burma. Eight million face starvation amid Yemen’s war. Atrocities against civilians continue in Syria, South Sudan and elsewhere. What lessons did we learn from the Holocaust – if any? And how can we strengthen norms and institutions to prevent future atrocities more effectively? Join us on January 30 for a discussion on the state of atrocity prevention with leading experts.
