Excerpt from the 4th cover of the book "Genocide, anatomy of a crime" by Yves Ternon, Armand Colin, 2016.
A comparative approach of three proven genocides of the 20th century – European Jews, Armenians from the Ottoman Empire, and Tutsi from Rwanda – allows for understanding the specificity of the crime of genocide. International criminal justice, born in the 20th century, is the consecration of the work carried out since Antiquity by jurisconsults who, each in their own political space and the movement of thought of their time, founded international law.
In the presence of the author and Antoine Garapon, magistrate, secretary general of the Institut des hautes études sur la justice.
