Attend this free conference by Miloud Chennoufi, Professor of International Relations and Director of Graduate Studies at the Canadian Forces College, Toronto, seeking to explore questions, examining the challenges of mapping a shifting boundary between lived horror and its formal recognition.
For the first time, the world is witnessing—live and unfiltered—the wholesale destruction of lives and communities. Relentless images of war depict human tragedy on an unprecedented scale, documenting an unspeakable reality while revealing a strange paradox: although they shock, inflame, and mobilize, the stories unfolding on our screens also risk normalizing unending violence.
How can we move beyond emotional trauma and develop the legal and political language necessary to move from testimony to action? At what point do we acknowledge that a threshold has been crossed and that these atrocities must be recognized as genocide? Is it when killing becomes systematic, when death is an organized outcome? When violence deliberately targets a cultural, ethnic, or religious identity? Or is it when the complicit silence and indifference of the international community transforms monstrosities into everyday events?
