Why Prevention Fails: Chronicling the Genocide in Artsakh

von Joeden-Forgey, Elisa · 2023

By the executive director of the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention: chronicles how Azerbaijan's September 2023 attack on Artsakh displaced virtually the entire indigenous Armenian population despite over a year of explicit warnings from genocide scholars. Analyzes why prevention failed, diplomatic silences shaped by geopolitical interests provided cover for the crime, and argues the Artsakh genocide inaugurates a 'new New Imperialism.'
