There is no grand conspiracy or silencing. GSP will publish a roundtable; the IAGS conference will include papers on Israel-Palestine. &, as it does, IAGS/GSP will continue to incl scholarship on many conflicts & genocides, & issues around #genPrev, punishment & education, not just focus on one.
Stop Genocide Now signed a joint statement alongside more than 35 other organizations sounding the alarm on the return of genocide in Darfur.

UNFMM reports demonstrate serious risk- bit of a stretch for #ICJ to conclude otherwise, which would be manifestly inconsistent with obligation to prevent. #genprev But Schabas is asking for a too-high std for #ICJ to order PMs.
Says Schabas seeking to set new & onerous std at PM stage. #Myanmar under obligation not to commit #genocide & to #genPrev, at instant it learns of existence of serious risk that genocide will be committed.
