SUMMARY:Book Talk: From Discrimination to Death: Genocide Process through a Human Rights Lens
DESCRIPTION:This event is hosted with Loughborough University London’s Institute for Media and Creative Industries and the Royal Holloway Holocaust Research Institute\, as part of the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership (HGRP).\nFrom Discrimination to Death studies the process of genocide through the human rights violations that occur during genocide. Using individual testimonies and in-depth multi-country field research from the Armenian Genocide\, Holocaust and Cambodian Genocide\, this book demonstrates that a pattern of specific escalating human rights abuses takes place in genocide. Offering an analysis of all these particular human rights as they are violated in genocide\, the author intricately brings together genocide studies and human rights\, demonstrating how the ‘crime of crimes’ and the human rights law regime correlate. Dr O’Brien then applies the pattern of rights violations to the Rohingya Genocide\, revealing that this pattern could have been used to prevent the violence against the Rohingya\, before advocating for a greater role for human rights oversight bodies in genocide prevention. \nThe pattern ascertained through the research in this book offers a resource for governments and human rights practitioners as a mid-stream indicator for genocide prevention. It can also be used by lawyers and judges in genocide trials to help determine whether genocide took place. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr Melanie O’Brien is Associate Professor of International Law at the University of Western Australia\, and President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS). Her work on forced marriage has been cited by the International Criminal Court\, she has appeared before the ICC as an amicus curia and been an expert consultant for several UN bodies. She recently received a 10-year service medal for volunteering with the Australian Red Cross in the International Humanitarian Law Committee\, and was awarded the Filon Ktenidis Award by the Pontian Society of Sydney for her work on justice and recognition for victims of genocide. \nDr O’Brien has conducted research across six continents and was a 2022 Research Fellow at the Sydney Jewish Museum. She is a 2023 Visiting Fellow at the University of Loughborough and a 2023-34 Visiting Professor at the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, University of Minnesota.

She tweets @DrMelOB. \nChaired by: \nDr Rebecca Jinks a historian of comparative genocide and humanitarianism.
