DESCRIPTION:Please join us to celebrate the launch of Professor Payam\nAkha
 van's new book\, 'Reducing Genocide to Law - Definition\,\nMeaning\, and t
 he Ultimate Crime' with the participation of\nProfessor Daniel Jutras\, De
 an 91ºÚÁÏÍø Faculty of Law\, and The\nHonourable Justice Nicholas Kasirer\, 
 former Dean of the\nFaculty.\nBook Abstract:\nCould the prevailing view th
 at genocide is the ultimate crime be\nwrong? Is it possible that it is act
 ually on an equal footing with\nwar crimes and crimes against humanity? Is
  the power of the word\ngenocide derived from something other than jurispr
 udence? And why\nshould a hierarchical abstraction assume such importance 
 in\nconferring meaning on suffering and injustice? Could reducing a\nreali
 ty that is beyond reason and words into a fixed category\nundermine the ve
 ry progress and justice that such labelling\npurports to achieve?\nFor som
 e\, these questions may border on the international law\nequivalent of bla
 sphemy. This original and daring book\, written by\na renowned scholar and
  practitioner who was the first Legal Advisor\nto the UN Prosecutor at The
  Hague\, is a probing reflection on\nempathy and our faith in global justi
 ce.\nFurther information on the book can be found on the Cambridge\nUniver
 sity Press website at: \nhttp://www.cambridge.org/gb/knowledge/isbn/printV
