(Go On! is an occasional item on symposia of interest.) Kudos to Rutgers School of Law, Newark, New Jersey, for assembling many top social science and legal scholars for an April 4, 2008, conference devoted to the
Convention Against Genocide, which the U.N. General Assembly adopted on December 9, 1948.
The United Nations Genocide Convention: A 60th Anniversary Commemoration will include a keynote by
Juan E. Mendéz, President of the International Center for Transitional Justice. In addition, our colleague
Karima Bennoune will moderate a "Past, Present, and Future" panel featuring
Frank Chalk,
Jens Meierhenrich, and
Martin Mennecke.
Dennis Papazian will moderate "Applied: Case Studies," with talks by
Sheri Rosenberg (left),
Joyce Apsel (below left), and
Marcelo Raffin. IntLawGrrls' own
Jaya Ramji-Nogales will moderate the final panel, "Prevention,"

featuring
Roger S. Clark,
Helen Fein (right), and
Gregory
Stanton.
A promising kickoff for this anniversary year of the Convention.
