In 1986, Donald E Miller and Lorna Touryan Miller published a chapter identifying six responses to the genocide, drawing on their oral history work: repression, rationalisation, resignation, reconciliation, rage and revenge. 526 In this essay I offer two extensions to this typology. First, I suggest a seventh response that has emerged in recent years: engagement with the Turkish government, civil society and individuals. Second, building on the 526 Donald E Miller and Lorna Touryan Miller, ‘An Oral History Perspective on Responses to the Armenian Genocide’, in The Armenian Genocide in Perspective , ed. Richard G Hovannisian (New Jersey: Transaction Publishers, 1986), 187–204.

His country had been engulfed by protests for the past two weeks, triggered by the security force’s overreaction to anti-regime graffiti scrawled on a school wall by a group of teenagers and fuelled by the tumults of the ‘Arab Spring’. Now, the President was to deliver his first televised address to the nation since the protests began. Assad had a real choice to make; his counsellors were divided. Indeed, there is some suggestion that there were even two— very different—draft speeches.4 Some, like Manaf Tlass, a close confidant to Bashar and his father Hafez al-Assad before him, and Brigadier General in Syria’s elite Republican Guard, advised restraint. The President should align himself with the protesters, sack corrupt officials and offer political and economic reform, Tlass argued. Above all, he should rein in the security forces, end the use of force against peaceful protesters and prosecute those responsible.","PeriodicalId":203039,"journal":{"name":"Genocide Perspectives VI: The Process and the Personal Cost of Genocide","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125975848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The atrocities of World War Two, in particular the annihilation of Jews in the Holocaust, shocked the global community into the creation of today’s human rights legal system. Traditionally, international law was concerned with the rights and regulations of states. Following the Holocaust however, other actors (including individuals) were included in international law, based on the idea that states should not be free to treat persons within their territory as they wish and, in particular, should not be free to persecute and kill. The sentiment was that people should be respected and accorded rights to be able to live with dignity and liberty, within a broader desire for democratic rule of law.94 Dignity and freedom are the essence of human rights, and are to be enjoyed by all without discrimination as to race, gender, religion,","PeriodicalId":203039,"journal":{"name":"Genocide Perspectives VI: The Process and the Personal Cost of Genocide","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122812148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
