Deconstructing Prevention: The Theory, Policy, and Practice of Mass Atrocity Prevention

in cooperation with the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation

Tuesday, February 26, 2013
9 a.m. – 6:15 p.m.
Jacob Burns Moot Court Room
Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
55 Fifth Avenue
New York City

Over the past decade, the prevention agenda has expanded to include conflict prevention, protection of civilians, genocide prevention, atrocity prevention, transitional justice, and the Responsibility to Protect. While this expansion is welcome, it does not come without its challenges. The rapid growth in policy response and civil society advocacy has left little time for critique and self-reflection. The prevention field’s underlying assumptions and goals have remained for the most part under-examined and under-theorized.This conference seeks to reveal an understanding of atrocity prevention, defining its parameters and rationalizing its relationship to related disciplines and agendas. It will result in an edited volume serving as an authoritative work on the state of the field of prevention.

The conference is free and open to the public, but please RSVP to dmitzner@auschwitzinstitute.org, or call 212.575.2605. Please indicate whether you are applying for CLE credits.
Cardozo Law is a New York State CLE provider. Seven credit hours pending.
