What constitutes a genocide? Who decides? And why are there different responses when something is called “genocide”? My newest article in the @_UNChronicle addresses these critical questions and real-time debates.

This new article deals with the Genocide Convention, legal and sociological definitions of genocide, and the categorical application of international law to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Read more from genocide scholar @S_Lakin1: ➡️ un.org/en/un-chronicl…

@jennabrusso Looks like messaging isn’t allowed here. Tag me for more details on my work with @SFCG_ , @FletcherSchool, @UMassBostonCPDD, @InclusvSecurity

@jennabrusso Happy to participate in side sessions for IPI, I’ll send a DM with more info! #genprev #poc researcher #atrocityprevention

Calling all people working on protection - who's going to be in NYC for POC week next month? Organizing some side sessions at IPI and wondering who will be around!

@HilaryMatfess Take your leave. Being a new mom is wonderful but hard, the rest can wait. Let the journals (and any others) know and ask for/propose an extension date. It also normalizes what’s expected of new moms in academia, plus it’s hard to do your best work with a newborn. Good luck!

100+ Darfuri survivors, Sudanese diaspora, #AP experts, academics, & advocates signed a clear warning about the crisis in #Darfur. Years from now, we do not want to hear that there was no warning. lnkd.in/e3nqQBAQ @StateDept_GCJ, @WairimuANderitu, @AdviserAdaDieng
