In this third episode of the Alliance for Peacebuilding’s (AfP) new podcast, Peace: We Build It!, genocide scholars Gregory Stanton, Founding President and Chairman of Genocide Watch, and Maxim A. Pensky, Co-Director of the Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention (I-GMAP), sit down with our host Tanya Domi to discuss the crime of genocide, exploring past genocides from Armenia to Darfur, as well as ongoing genocides against the Uyghur ethnic minority in Xinjiang and the Tigrayans in Ethiopia. The episode also explores President Biden's decision to recognize the Armenian Genocide on its 106th Anniversary and the U.S. government's responsibility to prevent, address, and recognize crimes of genocide.
