The Berkeley Human Rights Seminar invites distinguished scholars across disciplines to present their recent research on human rights. Hosting several lectures and a book roundtable each semester, the seminar brings these scholars into conversation with the Berkeley community. The theme for the 2012-13 seminar lectures is "The Recent History of Human Rights."

This seminar features Dirk Moses (European University Institute), discussing "How and Why Did Genocide Become a Non-Political Crime?"

Presented by the Human Rights Program and the Townsend Center for the Humanities.
