Between Communal Survival and National Aspiration: Armenian Genocide Refugees, the League of Nations, and the Practices of Interwar Humanitarianism

Keith David Watenpaugh · 2014

Catalogue summary

The article follows interwar efforts to preserve Armenian communal life after genocide and the failure of state-building projects. It uses those efforts to analyze how refugee protection, anti-trafficking work, and international humanitarian practice developed within the League of Nations.

Why this matters

It places Armenian displacement at the center of the history of modern refugee protection rather than treating it as a peripheral humanitarian episode.
