<p></p> <p>This book analyzes incidences of genocide and mass atrocities focusing on the political factors involved in modern counter-genocide efforts. Drawing on incidences of genocide and mass atrocity such as the Holocaust the Rwandan genocide and the Armenian genocide Mark Kielsgard adopts a conceptual model that reveals the political factors which impact the international law of genocide such as barriers and catalysts to transitional justice and the politics of genocide denial. Drawing on these examples this work identifies issues and initiatives to provide an overview of the forces that shape genocide remediation and prevention.</p>
