Genocide

This book presents the background and history of genocide, the key issues associated with this worldwide crime, and the problems inherent in preventing its occurrence. Of the more than 250 wars fought since 1950, most have involved mass murder and genocide against groups targeted because of ethnic, racial, religious, or gender characteristics. Sadly, there is still no enforcement mechanism or organization that can effectively prevent genocide on an international level.
