During this one-day meeting, jurists and historians specializing in genocide will engage in a dialogue. Their debates will focus on four questions of common interest for the understanding of the crime of genocide by both disciplines or practices: Prohibition of genocide: from violence and "black legends" to the crime of customary law; Perpetrators of genocide: individual, collective and/or institutional; Conditions of genocide: genocidal intentions and/or processes; and Justice and truth of genocide: "the past that does not pass" and "murderers of memory". The treatment of these questions will of course provide an opportunity to look back at various cases of genocide in history, including that of international law.
