Triple genocide in Sudan

Article Abstract:

Human rights violations in Sudan have gone unabated. 'South' Sudan has twice declared war on the Muslim-dominated 'north' in protest of the latter's regional, religious and ethnic impositions. Genocide is committed to those who refuse to embrace the Islamic faith. Non-Muslims are denied access to financial institutions, schools and public services. Centers of detention, torture and extermination house captured youths. Although some Catholic and Protestant organizations have tried extending aid to the threatened tribes, the Sudanese government has continually blocked their efforts, handing over such authority to the Islamic Relief Agency.

Recent history of genocide in Yugoslavia

Article Abstract:

The ethnic cleansing which characterized the breakup of Yugoslavia is a reflection of the international community's failure to react to a similar genocide that took place in the country at the end of World War II. Before World War II, about 700,000 Germans, known as Donauschwaben, lived in Yugoslavia. After the war, many of them fled to escape the advancing communist army. Those who remained were arrested by the communist Yugoslavian government. Many of them were later executed, while the rest were shipped to Russia as slaves.

Preventing genocide

Article Abstract:

It is estimated that 38 million people lost their lives through genocide throughout the course of the twentieth century, according to Grimshaw. Of the total, 1.6 million lives were lost in Cambodia, 507,000 in Rwanda, and 200,000 in Yugoslavia, which represent the most recent atrocities. It is argued why, despite advancements in outlawing crimes against humanity and war crimes tribunals, ethnic violence continues and offenders are not prosecuted.
