The Importance of Genocide Recognition
Human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson explains what constitutes genocide as a legal concept, how this legal definition applies to the case of the Armenians in 1915 and how the Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of the 20th century, was critical in the development of genocide studies and the drafting of the UN Genocide Convention of 1948 by Raphael Lemkin.
