Pepperdine Law School Institute on Law, Religion, and Ethics / Simon Wiesenthal Center Conference -- "Genocide and Religion: Victims, Perpetrators, Bystanders, and Resisters"

[Scarberry, Mark]

I thought members of the conlawprof and religionlaw lists might want to
know about this conference, which will take place from Feb. 11 to Feb.
13, 2007 at the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Pepperdine Univ. School
of Law. For more information, including a schedule of events and
information about the speakers, go to
http://law.pepperdine.edu/events/genocide.jsp
<http://law.pepperdine.edu/events/genocide.jsp> . Here is one paragraph
from the description of the conference (written by my colleague Roger
Alford):
 
"This unique conference - jointly organized by the Simon Wiesenthal
Center and the Pepperdine University School of Law - focuses on the
intersection between genocide and religion. It emphasizes the roles
played by perpetrators, victims, bystanders, and resisters during the
genocides of the 20th and 21st centuries, genocides that began with
Armenia and unfortunately continue to this day in Sudan. The conference
will examine what role law should play in mediating this intersection
between religion and genocide."
 
The conference begins with a reception at (and private tour of) the
Museum of Tolerance, includes a memorial and tribute service for victims
and resisters of genocide, and ends with a screening of the film "I Have
Never Forgotten You: The Life and Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal" (narrated
by Nicole Kidman).
