The Soviet Union and the Gutting of the UN Genocide Convention - Critical Human Rights
Anton Weiss-Wendt
After the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust, the UN resolved to prevent and punish the crime of genocide. The resulting UN Genocide Convention treaty, however, was weakened in the midst of Cold War tensions. Anton Weiss-Wendt reveals in detail how the political aims of the superpowers rendered the convention a weak instrument for addressing abuses against human rights.
