Never Again

Legal Responses to a Broken Promise in the Middle East

Never Again presents a comprehensive analysis of the law on genocide. Drawing on evidence of genocide since 1948 and eyewitness accounts of ISIS/Daesh atrocities, Never Again demonstrates that the system designed to safeguard the vulnerable offers only illusory protection. With the rise of non-State actors, its capacity to oppose the most egregious violations of human rights is frighteningly limited.

Ewelina Ochab and ADF International provide a blueprint to address the faults in the Convention and to ensure the law on genocide adapts to respond to terrorism. It is time to renew the pledge to stand against genocide, in all its forms.

Endorsements:

‘The author makes an important contribution to the ongoing debate on how to accomplish an internationally binding genocide recognition and possible ways to prosecute the perpetrators of this genocide against Christians and other vulnerable groups. The future of these groups in the Middle East is at stake and the time for action is now.’

-LARS ADAKTUSSON, Member of the European Parliament

‘The author cuts through complex issues which have divided countries around the world, in a way which challenges us to use all the legal tools available to secure accountability for the perpetrators and justice for the victims of this horrifying violence.’

-FIONA BRUCE, Member of Parliament, United Kingdom

‘This comprehensive book brings together debates that have been raging the world over on how best to respond to the rise of Daesh.’

-JÁN FIGEĽ, EU Special Envoy for the promotion of freedom of religion or belief outside the EU

Statement of Faith

Based on our adherence to the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God in Scripture, we profess with the Christian Church throughout time and around the world the faith expressed in the Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
