/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Online Encyclopedia of Mass Violence launched today
the first working tool on the crimes against Humanity perpetrated
on all the continents, during and after the 19th century. Four pages
are dedicated to the Armenian Genocide, independent French journalist
Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net.
This Encyclopedia Project aims to create a regularly updated
electronic database focusing on massacres and genocides of the 20th
century. Currently, there is no tool available that documents and
classifies our knowledge by continent, country and historical period.
The Encyclopedia’s first objective is to fill this gap by offering
reliable historical description and interdisciplinary analysis of
both well-documented and less well-known 20th century massacres.
Such a unique database will not only be valuable to scholars, but also
the NGO community, international legal experts, policy makers and
journalists. Anyone seeking a reliable account regarding a specific
case of massacre, in a particular country or on an exact date will
now be able to locate the information on the Encyclopedia.
The Online Encyclopedia provides chronological indexes, case studies,
analytical contributions on socio-political violence in a given
country, a glossary of the terms most often used in genocide studies
as well as theoretical papers written by the most representative
authors in the field.
