| Abstract
|
:
|
This paper examines recent evidence of genocide between Arabs and Kurds occurring in the countries of Syria and Iraq, and applies that evidence to Robert Melson’s methodological framework on total genocide. Genocide is the most serious of all crimes against humanity and one of the most likely to be prosecuted; significant evidence for genocide could help move forward proceedings towards an international prosecution. A literature review on the history of international law and potentially similar cases reveals that there is a precedent for pursuing this kind of prosecution.
