Abstract
This article addresses problems involved in defining genocide as well as in preventing it. The author looks to ancient history, human morality and religious belief to attempt to explain the occurrence of genocide. While surveying historical genocides and examining current atrocities in Kenya, Congo and Darfur, he also proposes ways to prevent genocide through cooperation between NGOs and governments.
