10 Stages of Genocide by Dr. Gregory H. Stanton
Summary
Gregory H Stanton, President of Genocide Watch developed the 10 stages of genocide which explains the different stages which lead to genocide. At each of the earlier stages, there is an opportunity for members of the community or the International Community to halt the stages and stop genocide before it happens.
Introduction
Genocide is a process that develops in ten stages that are predictable but not inexorable. At each stage, preventive measures can stop it. The process is not linear. Stages may occur simultaneously. Logically, later stages must be preceded by earlier stages. But all stages continue to operate throughout the process.
