  • Genocides of the 20th Century

    I was just doing some snooping on the internet and was wondering if we could come up with a comprehensive list of genocides/crimes against humanity that occurred in the 20th century. I think everyone in here is aware of the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust. Here is a list I ran across for events that happened after WWII. We can keep adding to the list and maybe summarize the events that led up to the Genocides. What do you guys think?

    Genocides Since 1951 (After January 12, 1951 when the Genocide Convention came in force)

    East Pakistan 1971: Genocide in East Bengal

    Burundi 1972: Selective Genocide of Hutus.

    Cambodia 1975-1979: Khmer Rouge "Killing Fields"and Genocide

    Guatemala 1981-83: Genocide in the Maya Highlands

    Iraq 1987-88: Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan

    Bosnia-Herzegovia 1992-1995: Serb "Etnicko Ciscenje" of Bosnian Muslims.

    Rwanda 1994: Akazu "Hutu Power" Genocide of Tutsis

    Not a bad idea. I was making my own list for my site that will be released soon and Wiki helped me out a lot. Why don't you try searching Genocide's of the 21st century or something like that? I'm sure you'll have a larger list then you do now.

    Good work so far ...
    THE ROAD TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IS A LONG ONE!

        Have you read Samantha Power's "A Problem From Hell" ?

        I personally think that currently the word genocide is being used indiscriminately and therefore being diluted and it's meaning weakened. The yoods use holocaust and keep that word as their preserve, even though they treat Palestinians as they were treated themselves.
