Study Notes
Course Introduction
- The course challenges the passive view of history, emphasizing individual agency and responsibility, particularly through voting.
- The course examines the individual's role in society.
Crimes Against Humanity: Genocide Stages
- Stage 1: Stopping Genocide: International bodies (regional organizations, national governments, UN Security Council) should use targeted sanctions to weaken perpetrators.
- Stage 2: Symbolization: Groups are labeled (names, language, dress, etc.) to create distinctions and facilitate discrimination. This is illustrated by the use of symbols like pink triangles for homosexuals in Nazi concentration camps, leading to further marginalization. Prevention involves protecting words used to negatively label groups.
- Stage 3: Dehumanization: One group denies the humanity of another, creating a sense of superiority and inferiority.
- Stage 4: Organization: Genocide requires planning and organization, as it's a group crime. Active opposition to discriminatory laws and policies is crucial.
- Stage 6: Preparation: Victims are identified (e.g., through symbols) and targeted (e.g., through death lists).
