Global Conference on the Prevention of Genocide, Thurs 11 Oct - Sat 13 Oct, Montreal

[see Friday, October 12, 4 – 5:30 pm - Economics and Genocide: Reconciling Profit and Prevention] Genocidal regimes are often sustained by economic relations including foreign trade and investment. What is the role of governments and corporations in ensuring that they are not complicit in genocide?

This panel brings together perspectives from government, business, and academia, focusing in particular on the situation in Darfur.
