May 16, 2025
We are pleased to invite you to a lecture by Professor Joe Delap from Athens State University, who will present a lecture titled
“Bitburg, Ratification, and Implementation of the Genocide Convention by the US”. The presentation delves into the history of the US’s role in the Convention, discusses US-European dealings prompting Senate ratification, and concludes by looking at what difference, if any, US ratification has made in assessing, investigating, and prosecuting genocide in the International Criminal Court.
