"This exciting, landmark book provides a truly innovative model for understanding genocide as a progressive process comprised of intensifying human rights violations. O’Brien not only brings human rights law and genocide studies into their strongest relationship since 1948, but produces a human rights-based approach to genocide prevention that is as novel as it promises to be effective."Professor Henry C. Theriault, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs at Worcester State University, USA, and former President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars."From Discrimination to Death is essential reading for practitioners and scholars alike. The intersection of human rights violations and genocide is frequently overlooked. This volume fills that void by examining human rights within a framework of international law, and then demonstrating how the violation of said rights was carried out by genocidal regimes. This brilliant text makes clear through a variety of case studies the processes of dehumanization and the violation of human rights sets the stage for genocide. Highly recommend for anyone who truly wishes to understand the connections between human rights and genocide."Dr Stephanie Wolfe, Associate Professor in Political Science, Weber State University; author of The Politics of Reparations and Apologies. "From Discrimination to Death explores genocide as a pattern of systematic and escalating violations of human rights, not a single act. As well as making an important contribution to scholarship, viewing genocide as a process allows earlier intervention to prevent genocide and assists courts in prosecuting genocide."Professor Sarah Williams, University of New South Wales, Sydney; author of Hybrid and Internationalised Criminal Tribunals: Selected Jurisdictional Issues.
