Armenian Genocide and the UN Convention   What does the UN Convention of 1948 say about the Armenian Genocide? Can one refrain from recognising the Armenian Genocide 1915 since the UN Convention did not exist until 1948? Does the present Turkey have any obligations regarding the act of genocide committed by Ottoman Turkey? These and many other aspects of the 1915 genocide are discussed in the highly interesting article by Prof. Alfred de Zayas, former Secretary of the UN Human Rights Committee.

Swedish Archives Confirm: It was a genocide!   A newly conducted study at the Uppsala University has revealed highly interesting information about the Swedish knowledge of the ongoing annihilation of the Armenian nation in Ottoman Turkey. The study covers the period between 1915 and 1923 and deals with the information dellivered by Swedish newspapers, missionary workers, Swedish Embassy and the Military Mission in Turkey.   The study will be available here in the coming days and on the Uppsala University Seminar page.
