SB 333 - Human Rights and Genocide

Institution:

Cazenovia College (Closed 2023)

Subject:

Description:

This course will examine the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It will then consider violations of human rights in the form of genocidal atrocities. This course is designed to introduce students to the major debates surrounding the study of genocide: how should genocide be defined? Is genocide primarily an international crime belonging to courts and tribunals or is it macro-social event, comparable to a social revolution? What are the major theories explaining genocide and how effective are these theories? Is every case unique or do all the cases demonstrate consistent patterns? Finally, how might genocide be prevented? This course will focus on the Sudan, the Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia, the former Yugoslavia, and the experience of Native Americans in this country. (Offered on a rotating basis) Prerequisites: EN101 and EN201 and one SB or HG course or permission of the instructor
