Genocide and Civil War

Global Humanist Shoptalk by M L Clark

Episode notes

In this final miniseries for Season 2, "Migration and Mobility Rights", we reflect on the arbitrary nature of national borders, in light of humanity's much more fluid histories of movement. One other problem with borders is how ill-prepared they make us, as a species, to address extreme human rights violations. Genocide and civil war are routinely difficult phenomena to mediate because of our prioritization of notions of sovereignty and the integrity of a nation's borders. But does this serve a more global humanist perspective?
