内容説明
"Against Massacre" looks at the rise of humanitarian intervention in the nineteenth century, from the fall of Napoleon to the First World War. Examining the concept from a historical perspective, Davide Rodogno explores the understudied cases of European interventions and noninterventions in the Ottoman Empire and brings a new view to this international practice for the contemporary era. While it is commonly believed that humanitarian interventions are a fairly recent development, Rodogno demonstrates that almost two centuries ago an international community, under the aegis of certain European powers, claimed a moral and political right to intervene in other states' affairs to save strangers from massacre, atrocity, or extermination. On some occasions, these powers acted to protect fellow Christians when allegedly "uncivilized" states, like the Ottoman Empire, violated a "right to life." Exploring the political, legal, and moral status, as well as European perceptions, of the Ottoman Empire, Rodogno investigates the reasons that were put forward to exclude the Ottomans from the so-called Family of Nations. He considers the claims and mixed motives of intervening states for aiding humanity, the relationship between public outcry and state action or inaction, and the bias and selectiveness of governments and campaigners. An original account of humanitarian interventions some two centuries ago, "Against Massacre" investigates the varied consequences of European involvement in the Ottoman Empire and the lessons that can be learned for similar actions today.

latest and most up-to-date account on genocide studies
2012/4/7
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
This book is a part of a series dealing with Humanitarian Crises and Genocides in world history; this one is about the Ottoman Empire and the European interventions to it during 19th century. The book after a long discussion of what is humanitarian and international jurisprudence of it plunges to a case by case analysis of almost all Humanitarian crises in the Ottoman Empire; Greek, Mount Lebanon, Macedonian and needless to say Armenian.
In the introduction the author admits that one of the short comings of the book is lack of Ottoman source, but the argument is not what happened but how the European powers intervened or not on ostensibly humanitarian reasons in actual to promote their political agenda in the area.
The author also takes a neutral stance in this highly controversial argument; he says "it is worthwhile for readers to bear in mind that when Europeans dealt with massacres taking place in the Ottoman Empire, they ignored the appalling record violations of the right to life in their respective colonies [...] Europeans intervened militarily when the "barbarous" Ottomans used the same "savage" methods to repress insurrection they systematically used n their own colonies."
The author never denies the gravity of the massacres committed by the Ottoman Government during Armenian crises, but after references of what was going on around the globe and international law's dictates on genocide he declares that ; "as far as the Ottoman government and authorities are concerned, it seems to me that massacres were not acts of genocidaires." In the corresponding chapter he explains why he thinks this is not a genocide; the inflated reports of correspondents that do not speak Turkish or never actually see any Armenian village to Armenians own actions to promote violence on the land to force European powers to intervene.
Highly recommended to those who want to keep up-to-date publications on crimes against humanity and those who want to read a fresh unbiased look to Armenian problem in the Ottoman Empire.
