Ethnocide—the destruction of a culture while keeping its people—is the quintessential violation of human dignity, which is the bedrock of a just rule of law. This webinar examines current manifestations of ethnocide—from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to sociopolitical forces at play today in the US—and both their effects on, and their implications for, the future of the rule of law at home and abroad.
