SUMMARY:Webinar: Lemkin\, Genocide\, and the Modern World
DESCRIPTION:Zapraszamy na webinar w języku angielskim „Lemkin\, Genocide\, and the Modern World” z udziałem uznanych międzynarodowych naukowców\, którzy omówią postać Rafaela Lemkina oraz konwencję o ludobójstwie w świetle niedawnej rosyjskiej agresji na Ukrainie. Webinar odbędzie się 1 grudnia od godz. 18:00.  \n \n \nLemkin był polskim prawnikiem pochodzenia żydowskiego\, który przeżył II wojnę światową. Znany jest jako ojciec koncepcji „ludobójstwa” jako przestępstwa i był kluczową osobą stojąca za Konwencją ONZ przeciwko ludobójstwu. \nRejestracja: https://cohenseglias.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_DzMHINiyQeOgvt-1Fkr7XQ  \nHe was a complex person with divided loyalties and life experiences that influenced his work. He is often portrayed as a lone ranger\, but he was quite effective in gaining support for his ideas\, especially among women groups who made the Convention possible. Lemkin had a complex relationship with Stalin\, among others\, which is largely forgotten. \nWhile modern applications of the Genocide Convention have been quite limited\, Poland is one of the few countries where such prosecutions were successful and started early\, and one of our speakers can elucidate how European countries were successful in using the Genocide Convention to prosecute crimes. \nRussian aggression against Ukraine has many indicia of “genocide\,” and we will discuss potential uses of the Convention to prosecute the crime of “genocide” and “incitement to genocide” as it applies to crimes committed by the Russians. \nThe first part of the webinar is on December 1st\, and the second is the third week of January \nOne can register right now. There is no charge. CLE credits are available. The poster for the event is attached above. \nSpeakers \nProfessor Donna Lee-Frieze (Deakin University\, Melbourne\, Australia\, Genocide Studies scholar specializing in memory and aftermath studies\, with a focus on the Stolen Generations\, the Armenian genocide\, the Holocaust\, and the Bosnian genocide. \nEditor of Raphael Lemkin’s autobiography Totally Unofficial (Yale 2013).
