Both instances contributed to the crime of genocide being considered high-profile. The recent mass atrocities caused world wide concern and debate. The phrase, "Never Again", was coined in reference to the holocaust and other genocides in order to emphasize the importance of history not repeating itself. It is believed that the responsibility has been put on the world to prevent it, rather than help a country rebuild after it occurs. This study of comparative genocide is now helping with the universality of the potential for genocide. Comparative genocide is derived from the UN Convention of Genocide, it refers to the academic and legal comparison of historical events. Past genocides can give us the insight needed on current genocides, clarifying the issues raised on potential genocides today. The flaw in studying comparative genocide is that the term genocide is an essentially contested concept. The concept itself has various interpretations and in nature is controversial. It is difficult to determine what leads to a genocide, when the world cannot call certain atrocities just that; genocide. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Comparative genocide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
