David Raikow on Sudan

David Raikow will be speaking at the First Parish Church in Arlington at 7.00p on Monday, October 13th on "Conflict in Context: the Recent History of War in Sudan, and the Role of the International Community."

Extra credit (and extra karma) is available for anyone who would like to attend and report back to the class!

He will ALSO be speaking to our class -- barring crazy scheduling errors -- on Wednesday, October 15th on genocide and international law. To prepare, please review the following documents:

• The Genocide Convention, which you are already familiar with
  
• The U.N.'s page on frequently asked questions about the International Criminal Court
  
• For more on the Criminal Court, see the I.C.C.'s own information page
  
• Read about the Nuremberg Principles that evolved out of the Nuremberg Trials following WWII

We'll be joining Mr. McCarthy's class. You don't need to commit these documents to memory, but do prepare yourself mentally to ask a question or two!
