On Monday, November 13, the Clements Center for National Security and the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies will host Andrea Gittleman, Policy Director for the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide, for a talk on “Atrocity Prevention as a Core National Security Interest and Core Moral Responsibility: Where Does U.S. Action Stand?”. Join us at 5:00 pm in RLP 1.302B, Patton Hall.

Genocide and other mass atrocities inflict profound harm on victims and generate trauma that can haunt generations to come. Senior U.S. officials have repeatedly stated that preventing mass atrocities and genocide is a “core national security interest and core moral responsibility.” By exploring U.S. responses to mass atrocities in contexts including Burma/Myanmar and China, the lecture will examine the interplay between these two rationales for prevention, the recent trajectory of atrocity prevention policy in the U.S., and what more may be needed to make sure U.S. leaders uphold the obligation of “never again.”
