International Conference: The Armenian Genocide & International Law

Haigazian University and the Armenian National Committee of the Middle
East will be hosting a conference entitled "The Armenian Genocide and
International Law", which will be held in two consecutive days,
September 3 & 4, 2009 at Haigazian University, Beirut, Lebanon.

This academic conference will cover new research on the
Armenian Genocide and will provide perspectives on genocide denial, the
genocide convention and international law. As such, the conference will
cover a time span of a hundred years and a geographic arena that goes
beyond contemporary Turkey. The conference is unprecedented in the
Middle East, as it will bring together leading experts in the field of
Genocide Studies and International Law.

The proceedings of the conference will be later published and
distributed to academic circles and research institutes.
