Genocide Scholars

The Institute for the Study of Genocide is an independent nonprofit
organization chartered by the University of the State of New York, located
at John Jay College of Criminal Justice of the City University of New York.
The ISG exists to promote and disseminate scholarship and policy analyses on
the causes, consequences, and prevention of genocide. It was founded in 1982
to fill a gap in both the scholarly and the human rights communities which
did not recognize the continued prevalence of genocide.

To advance these ends, it publishes a semi-annual newsletter and working
papers, and initiated study of life-integrity violations cross-nationally.
It holds periodic conferences, maintains liason with academic, human rights,
and refugee organizations, provides consultation to representatives of
media, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and advocates
passage of legislation and administrative measures related to genocide and
gross violations of human rights. To advance research, it initiated the
organization of the International Association of Genocide Scholars in 1995,
an autonomous affiliate of the ISG.

The International Association of Genocide Scholars is a global,
interdisciplinary, non-partisan organization that seeks to further research
and teaching about the nature, causes, and consequences of genocide, and
advance policy studies on prevention of genocide. The Association, founded
in 1994, meets biennially to consider comparative research, important new
works, case studies, the links between genocide and gross human rights
violations, and prevention and punishment of genocide.

The aim of the Association is to focus more intensively on questions of
genocide than is possible in the existing two-hour format of most
conferences and to draw colleagues from different disciplines into an
interdisciplinary conversation. Membership is open to scholars, graduate
students, and other interested persons worldwide. The Association is an
autonomous affiliate of The Institute for the Study of Genocide.
