Book Synopsis The Concept of Cultural Genocide by : Elisa Novic
Download or read book The Concept of Cultural Genocide written by Elisa Novic and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural genocide is the systematic destruction of traditions, values, language, and other elements that make one group of people distinct from another.Cultural genocide remains a recurrent topic, appearing not only in the form of wide-ranging claims about the commission of cultural genocide in diverse contexts but also in the legal sphere, as exemplified by the discussions before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and also the drafting of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. These discussions have, however, displayed the lack of a uniform understanding of the concept of cultural genocide and thus of the role that international law is expected to fulfil in this regard. The Concept of Cultural Genocide: An International Law Perspective details how international law has approached the core idea underlying the concept of cultural genocide and how this framework can be strengthened and fostered. It traces developments from the early conceptualisation of cultural genocide to the contemporary question of its reparation. Through this journey, the book discusses the evolution of various branches of international law in relation to both cultural protection and cultural destruction in light of a number of legal cases in which either the concept of cultural genocide or the idea of cultural destruction has been discussed. Such cases include the destruction of cultural and religious heritage in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the forced removals of Aboriginal children in Australia and Canada, and the case law of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in relation to Indigenous and tribal groups' cultural destruction.
Book Synopsis Cultural Genocide by : Lawrence Davidson
Download or read book Cultural Genocide written by Lawrence Davidson and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-08 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most scholars of genocide focus on mass murder. Lawrence Davidson, by contrast, explores the murder of culture. He suggests that when people have limited knowledge of the culture outside of their own group, they are unable to accurately assess the alleged threat of others around them. Throughout history, dominant populations have often dealt with these fears through mass murder. However, the shock of the Holocaust now deters today’s great powers from the practice of physical genocide. Majority populations, cognizant of outside pressure and knowing that they should not resort to mass murder, have turned instead to cultural genocide as a “second best” politically determined substitute for physical genocide. In Cultural Genocide, this theory is applied to events in four settings, two events that preceded the Holocaust and two events that followed it: the destruction of American Indians by uninformed settlers who viewed these natives as inferior and were more intent on removing them from the frontier than annihilating them; the attack on the culture of Eastern European Jews living within Russian-controlled areas before the Holocaust; the Israeli attack on Palestinian culture; and the absorption of Tibet by the People’s Republic of China. In conclusion, Davidson examines the mechanisms that may be used to combat today’s cultural genocide as well as the contemporary social and political forces at work that must be overcome in the process.

Book Synopsis A Cultural Interpretation of the Genocide Convention by : Kurt Mundorff
Download or read book A Cultural Interpretation of the Genocide Convention written by Kurt Mundorff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critiques the dominant physical and biological interpretation of the Genocide Convention and argues that the idea of "culture" is central to properly understanding the crime of genocide. Using Raphael Lemkin’s personal papers, archival materials from the State Department and the UN, as well as the mid-century secondary literature, it situates the convention in the longstanding debate between Enlightenment notions of universality and individualism, and Romantic notions of particularism and holism. The author conducts a thorough review of the treaty and its preparatory work to show that the drafters brought strong culturalist ideas to the debate and that Lemkin’s ideas were held widely in the immediate postwar period. Reconstructing the mid-century conversation on genocide and situating it in the much broader mid-century discourse on justice and society he demonstrates that culture is not a distraction to be read out of the Genocide Convention; it is the very reason it exists. This volume poses a forceful challenge to the materialist interpretation and calls into question decades of international case law. It will be of interest to scholars of genocide, human rights, international law, the history of international law and human rights, and treaty interpretation.
Book Synopsis Cultural Violence and the Destruction of Human Communities by : Fiona Greenland
Download or read book Cultural Violence and the Destruction of Human Communities written by Fiona Greenland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together leading sociologists and anthropologists to break new ground in the study of cultural violence. First sketched in Raphael Lemkin’s seminal writings on genocide, and later systematically defined by peace studies scholar Johan Galtung, the concept of cultural violence seeks to explain why and how language, symbols, rituals, practices, and objects are so frequently in the crosshairs of socio-political change. Recent conflicts in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia, along with renewed public interest in the repertoire of violence applied to the control and erasure of indigenous populations, highlights the gaps in our understanding of why cultural violence occurs, what it consists of, and how it relates to other forms of collective violence.

Book Synopsis Cultural Genocide by Islamic Extremist Groups in Armed Conflicts in the 21th Century by : Mostafa Abadikhah

This book was released on 2017-06-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural genocide or cultural cleansing is a concept that The Polish jurist "Rapha�l Lemkin" established in 1944 as a component of genocide; in which, since that time, it has become known as "cultural genocide". This term refers to set of activities that follow the purpose and intent of physical genocide; namely, destruction with the intent to destroy a racial, religious, ethnic or national group as such. Rapha�l Lemkin , the architect of "the United Nation of Genocide convention" and inventor of the "Genocide" word and also member of the special committee for the convention draft codification, regarded the collection of the measures as cultural genocide in the draft of convention. One of they is The systematic destruction of the historical and religious monuments or deviation in the using of them, destruction of the documents and objects that are valuable to historical, artistic and religious and also destruction of the religious stuffs. In spite of the fact that the socialist countries and some of the third world countries protected from the cultural genocide term, and The drafters of the 1948 Genocide Convention considered the use of the term; but in order to the objections of the western and Latin American countries, the drafters dropped it from their consideration.But the attempt of the countries is not limited to the genocide convention and continued. as In Article 7 of a 1994 draft of the "United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples" used the phrase "cultural genocide" but did not define what it meant The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly during its 62nd session at UN Headquarters in New York City on 13 September 2007, but only mentions "genocide, or any other act of violence" in Article 7 (the only reference to genocide in the document). Although, the cultural genocide term was eliminated from the genocide convention,but the attempt for the introduce its concept in international law can be a step toward encouraging the countries of the world for preventing of the cultural genocide through approval the international documents with an effective sanction. And on the other hand must be answer to this question: are there any examples of the cultural genocide in the contemporary world (21th century), so that the experts of the international criminal law have explained its concept. Therefore, hypothesis in this book are including: 1- In 21th century, there are some cases about cultural heritage destruction, but generally, the cultural genocide term doesn't use about them. Such as world cultural heritage destruction by extremist Groups where have registered in UNESCO in Iraq, Syria and Mali.2- Although, ICC has considered the cultural destruction issue in Timbuktu in the recent years, ICC has put this measures in war crime framework, while if the statute of ICC had criminalized the cultural genocide term, the Cultural destruction in Mali would have recognized as cultural genocide due to the circumstances, "actus rea" and "mens rea" that have been introduced for cultural genocide.3- Although, nowadays the cultural genocide is not considered in formal and legal framework, according to the UNESCO approach and some of the doctrines about the events in Syria, Iraq and Mali, the codification of cultural genocide is more probable. There are three chapters in this book including: 1. In first chapter, deals with the protection of cultural heritage and the cultural genocide term is explained in general. 2. In second chapter, deals with the events happened in Iraq and Syria. in addition to answering to this question: why these events are cultural genocide?3. In third chapter, deals with the events happened in Mali that are famous to the Mali war. And the cultural genocide is considered during the Mali war.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Genocide by : Jeffrey S. Bachman
Download or read book The Politics of Genocide written by Jeffrey S. Bachman and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-16 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the negotiations that concluded with the unanimous adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide on December 9, 1948, and extending to the present day, the United States, Soviet Union/Russia, China, United Kingdom, and France have put forth great effort to ensure that they will not be implicated in the crime of genocide. If this were to fail, they have also ensured that holding any of them accountable for genocide will be practically impossible. By situating genocide prevention in a system of territorial jurisdiction; by excluding protection for political groups and acts constituting cultural genocide from the Genocide Convention; by controlling when genocide is meaningfully named at the Security Council; and by pointing the responsibility to protect in directions away from any of the P-5, they have achieved what can only be described as practical impunity for genocide. The Politics of Genocide is the first book to explicitly demonstrate how the permanent member nations have exploited the Genocide Convention to isolate themselves from the reach of the law, marking them as "outlaw states."

Book Synopsis The Crime of Destruction and the Law of Genocide by : Caroline Fournet
Download or read book The Crime of Destruction and the Law of Genocide written by Caroline Fournet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly original work provides a thought-provoking and valuable resource for researchers and academics with an interest in genocide, criminology, international organizations, and law and society. In her book, Caroline Fournet examines the law relating to genocide and explores the apparent failure of society to provide an adequate response to incidences of mass atrocity. The work casts a legal perspective on this social phenomenon to show that genocide fails to be appropriately remembered due to inherent defects in the law of genocide itself. The book thus connects the social response to the legal theory and practice, and trials in particular. Fournet's study illustrates the shortcomings of the Genocide Convention as a means of preventing and punishing genocide as well as its consequent failure to ensure the memory of this heinous crime.

Book Synopsis A Cultural History of Genocide in the Early Modern World by : Igor Pérez Tostado
Download or read book A Cultural History of Genocide in the Early Modern World written by Igor Pérez Tostado and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical studies of genocide in the 20th century trace the roots back to the sociopolitical, economic, and cultural developments of the early modern period. From globalization to urbanization, to imperialism, state formation and homogenization, from religious warfare to enlightenment, to racism: many factors connected with genocide first emerged or vastly developed between the 15th and 18th centuries. While the early modern period did not have a crime of genocide, it possessed its own legal system which contemplated the rightful destruction of whole peoples, and a political culture that sanctioned the use of mass violence. As a result, early modern genocide has been denied or blurred as a regrettable side effect of the global circulation of ideas, goods, and peoples, and the creation of new societies, cultures, and languages arising from it. This collection looks at the different genocides which unfolded around the globe, emphasizing its gendered dimension and its disproportionate and enduring impact on indigenous populations. Although European imperialism and homogenization play a central role, it aims more widely to cover the principal agents, victims and rationale for genocide in the early modern world. As a whole, this volume aims at fostering the debate on the early modern history of genocide, not as aninsulated or secondary subject, but as a central issue of the era with profound implications for our own.
