This event was presented in partnership with CDDRL, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Hoover Institution, and a student led movement to end atrocities at Stanford (STAND) on October 1, 2013 at Stanford University.

Abstract:

Sixty-eight years after the Holocaust, governments continue to struggle with preventing genocide and mass atrocities. In 2005, United Nations member states agreed that nations share a responsibility to protect their citizens from genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing. Join us for a discussion about how the responsibility to protect (or R2P) has been applied in recent crises.

Speakers:

Richard Williamson – Senior fellow in Foreign Policy at Brookings

Michael Abramowitz (moderator) – Director of the Center for the Prevention of Genocide at U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum

Tod Lindberg – Research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford

Lina Khatib – Program Manager at Arab Reform and Democracy Program at CDDRL
