    O C A U H O L S T L E A C N O N I T A A I N R L E T L N I A R E E M C E M B R A N A Matter Of Comparison: The Holocaust, Genocides and Crimes Against Humanity An Analysis And Overview Of Comparative Literature and Programs Koen Kluessien & Carse Ramos December 2018 International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance A Matter of Comparison About the IHRA The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) is an intergovernmental body whose purpose is to place political and social leaders’ support behind the need for Holocaust education, remembrance and research both nationally and internationally. The IHRA (formerly the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research, or ITF) was initiated in 1998 by former Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson. Persson decided to establish an international organisation that would expand Holocaust education worldwide, and asked former president Bill Clinton and former British prime minister Tony Blair to join him in this effort. Persson also developed the idea of an international forum of governments interested in discussing Holocaust education, which took place in Stockholm between 27–29 January 2000. The Forum was attended by the representatives of 46 governments including; 23 Heads of State or Prime Ministers and 14 Deputy Prime Ministers or Ministers. The Declaration of the Stockholm International Forum on the Holocaust was the outcome of the Forum’s deliberations and is the foundation of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. The IHRA currently has 31 Member Countries, 10 Observer Countries and seven Permanent International Partners.

  • Mass Media and Genocide Prevention: the Promise and Peril of the Digital Age
    9 December 2020 Mass Media and Genocide Prevention: The Promise and Peril of the Digital Age Remarks delivered by Dr. Simon Adams, Executive Director of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, on 9 December 2020 at a virtual event marking the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime, hosted by the Permanent Mission of Armenia to the UN Thank you, Mr. Moderator, and thank you to the Permanent Mission of Armenia for organizing today’s event. This annual day is an opportunity for us to come together as an international community and honor victims of genocide: a crime that diminishes us all and challenges our very sense of what makes us human. We should always keep in mind that from the genocide inflicted on the Herero and Nama people of Namibia in 1904, at the very start of the twentieth century, to ongoing attempts to destroy entire peoples today, genocide is a crime that must be organized and incited. And that means that it can also be prevented and punished. Today we renew our commitment to the prevention of genocide. But we must also reinvigorate our understanding of ongoing risks to vulnerable populations around the world and assess our collective capacity to prevent aspiring genocide perpetrators from harvesting fear and targeting the vulnerable. The 15th anniversary of the adoption of the principle of the Responsibility to Protect was commemorated earlier this year, as was the 105th anniversary of the Armenian genocide. The topic of today’s meeting is very timely.

  • The Holocaust and Other Genocides
    2010 Education Working Group Paper on the Holocaust and Other Genocides Introduction A central concern raised by many educators and students is why teach and learn about the Holocaust when there have been so many other instances of mass suffering of target groups throughout history? Further, why teach and learn about the Holocaust when other crimes against humanity are perpetrated today? A clear and well-informed understanding of the Holocaust, the paradigmatic genocide, may help educators and students understand other genocides, mass atrocities, and human rights violations. Teaching about mass suffering only began after the Second World War, or, to be specific, after the Holocaust, the attempt by the Nazis and their collaborators to completely destroy European Jewry. In part due to our investigation of the Holocaust, a whole field of genocide studies has developed and, in consequence, the crimes against the Armenians have been restored to history and scholars are studying numerous other instances of inhumanity, from the Herero massacres to the Stalinist murders and expulsion, to more recent horrors in Central Africa, the Sudan and Cambodia. As Dr. Linda Woolf of Webster University has stated, „Mass violence, torture, violations of fundamental human rights, and the mistreatment of human beings is not a new aspect of humanity; documentation of such events spans the historical record. It is imperative that a greater understanding of the psychological, cultural, political, and societal roots of human cruelty, mass violence, and genocide be developed. We need to continue to examine the factors which enable individuals collectively and individually to perpetrate evil/genocide and the impact of apathetic bystanders as fuel for human violence.

  • The Uyghurs of China: a Genocide in the Making
    The Uyghurs of China: A Genocide in the Making Tracking the Stages of Genocide Henrietta Störig International Relations Dept. of Global Political Studies Bachelor programme – IR103L 15 credits thesis Spring 2020 Supervisor: Erika Svedberg Henrietta Störig 980123-T029 Malmö University Abstract Recent reports on the forced sterilization of Uyghur women in the People’s Republic of China prompted experts to recognize the on-going situation as genocide. The aim of this thesis is to examine the different events that constitute the current genocide of the Uyghur nation in China, what led to it, and how it is likely to further develop. Based on Stanton’s 10 Stages of Genocide, a simple historical process research is conducted to analyse the causes and stages of the Uyghur genocide, and to make predictions regarding the ensuing stages and international intervention. By applying the theory of constructivism to the analysis, it becomes evident that genocide is a process that is produced by the social, economic, and political international structure, which renders many prevention measures ineffective. The thesis concludes that only immediate international intervention and prosecution of the perpetrator on the count of genocide conspiracy can prevent the irreversible destruction of the Uyghur nation.

  • Banning Goods Produced by Uyghur Forced Labour) Bill 2020 Written Submission to the Australian Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee Department of the Senate
    Customs Amendment (Banning Goods Produced By Uyghur Forced Labour) Bill 2020 Written submission to the Australian Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee Department of the Senate Uyghur Human Rights Project February 5, 2021 About the organization: The Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) promotes the rights of the Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim peoples in East Turkistan, referred to by the Chinese government as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), through research-based advocacy. As a Uyghur organization, we document violations; highlight human rights defenders, survivors, and victims; and research avenues for defence and positive promotion of Uyghurs’ human rights, especially in the arenas of policymaking, grassroots action, and cultural rights promotion. UHRP emphasizes bringing forward Uyghur voices and Uyghur experiences. Recommendations: 1. UHRP fully supports the provisions of the Customs Amendment (Banning Goods Produced By Uyghur Forced Labour) Bill 2020. 2. The Australian government should raise the issue of state-organized forced labor implemented by the Government of China at the March 2021 meeting of the Governing Body of the International Labor Organizations (ILO). 3. Australia should impose targeted human-rights sanctions on individuals and entities implicated in forced labor and other abuses, to include visa bans and asset freezes. 4. Australia should implement export controls on goods and services to PRC government agencies and companies complicit in forced labor, extrajudicial internment, and facial- recognition and other surveillance systems facilitating forced labor. 5. Australia should undertake a determination of whether the Chinese government’s recent actions in Uyghur Region meet the threshold of acts constitutive of genocide, core international crimes under the Genocide Convention and are consistent with crimes against humanity, an international crime under the Rome Statute.
