Accountability and Justice
Legal scholar Hannibal Travis examines the lack of accountability for genocide throughout the 20th century and the limitations of international courts in providing adequate measures of protection and deterrence that has resulted in a situation of impunity for the perpetrators. In the case of Turkey, the country’s longstanding policy of denial of the Armenian Genocide has allowed for ongoing patterns of human rights violations and economic and cultural discrimination against its minority populations.
