From Crimes Against Humanity to Genocide and Back
This article examines the relationship between genocide and crimes against humanity (CAH) in international law and the consequences of the incomplete codification of CAH. Although the 1948 Genocide Convention marked a milestone in international criminal law, it diverted attention from the development of a dedicated treaty on CAH, creating a structural gap that shaped subsequent legal debates and the Convention’s application. The article traces th…
Documenting the crime
This article analyses a temporary exhibition launched at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI) in Yerevan in April 2025, situating it within the museum’s broader practices. Focusing on foreign eyewitness testimonies from diplomats, missionaries, journalists, and relief workers, the exhibition frames documentation not only as historical evidence but also as a form of moral and political intervention. While acknowledging denial as a signifi…

National contexts and gendered research performance
Gender disparities in academic research remain a persistent concern. They are reflected in publication activity, citation impact, collaboration, and representation in senior academic positions, but the magnitude and form of these gaps vary across national contexts. This study provides an exploratory, most-different systems comparison of Armenia and Italy, two countries that differ markedly in the size, resources, and institutional organization of…
Benchmarking research performance in a post-Soviet science system
Thirty years after the dissolution of the USSR, the significant disparity between the research infrastructures of former Soviet republics and Western countries remains evident. Despite various efforts to transform national research systems through policies aimed at encouraging participation in global academic networks, enhancing research quality, and disseminating results through high-impact international journals, the gap persists. This paper fi…
In Search of Identity
During the Armenian Genocide, the Ottoman Empire’s Young Turk government forcibly transferred and assimilated thousands of Armenian children into Turkish society. After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War, Armenian and international bodies and individuals began to liberate the transferred children. However, they encountered resistance to child identification from both Turkish authorities and some of the children themselves. Th…
Beyond the Defective Gas Chamber
This article revisits the neglected crime of attempted genocide under international law. Although the Genocide Convention lists attempt as a punishable act, courts and scholars have rarely engaged with it. The article argues that this is due to a gap between the legal definition of genocide, as a crime of intent not scale, and its widespread social understanding as a mass atrocity crime requiring many victims. To bridge this, the paper proposes a…
In the shadow of genocide
In the Beautiful Heaven, a Golden Cage
The perpetration of the Armenian Genocide did not originate as the direct implementation of ideological convictions; rather, stemmed from an amalgamation of certain theories adjusted to political and economic developments in the Ottoman Empire in tandem with the desire to transform a multi-ethnic and multi-religious empire into a Turkish nation-state. Within this nation-building project, the Young Turk’s government chose to exterminate the indige…
From War Crimes to Crimes against Humanity and Genocide
On 24 May 1915, the Triple Entente powers of Britain, France, and Russia issued a joint declaration that qualified the massacres, imprisonments and violence inflicted on the peaceful Armenian population as “crimes against humanity and civilization.” The concept of crimes against humanity was further developed and explained by the Commission on the Responsibility of the Authors of the War and on Enforcement of Penalties (hereinafter: Commission), …
Forced marriages as a tool of genocide
Sexual violence has only recently gained significant attention and been recognised as a tool of war and genocide. One of the most recent developments has been the recognition of forced marriages as a crime against humanity while forming part of a systematic, widespread assault on a civilian population. Although the concept of forced marriage emerged after the conflict in Sierra Leone, its origins can be traced back to the Armenian Genocide of 191…

Reclaiming Children after the Armenian Genocide
During the Armenian Genocide the Turkish Government forcibly converted and assimilated Armenian children. The defeat of the Ottoman Empire in WWI brought the opportunity to retrieve such children, whose identities and future became a battleground between Armenians and Turks. This article addresses the fate of these child-survivors, many of whom, after being rescued, continued to deny their Armenian identities. The article presents a history of Ne…
The admission of the Caucasus states to the League of Nations
This article deals with the issue of the admission of the three Caucasian republics – Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia – to the League of Nations. The attempts of the newly established republics to gain international recognition, security guarantees and protection by becoming a member of the League of Nations failed, largely because of the establishment of the Soviet regime in the three republics and the attitude of the League of Nations towards B…
