Extract

My name is Johannes Houwink ten Cate; I am a historian of the Holocaust and I am interested in other modern genocides as well. It would seem appropriate to discuss with you how historians and legal experts have interacted in the past fifty years in dealing with the Holocaust and other modern genocides – insofar as these genocides have been formally acknowledged as such by international courts. So, I will limit my observations to the Holocaust, to the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 and to the genocidal incident that took place in Srebrenica in 1995.
