Genocide and harrowing atrocities have brought insurmountable suffering to millions of people in the last decade. They have also highlighted the need to invoke the atrocity prevention agenda, developed and nurtured in the post–Cold War era. Yet, despite putting prevention at the top of UN agenda priorities, the international community has insufficiently discharged its obligations to prevent atrocities. This book concentrates on the concept of structural prevention, which has become more dominant in the UN atrocity prevention agenda in the last years. It argues that its scope should be widened to include peacebuilding and peace education. The study is structured to build a cumulative argument, beginning with a historical and conceptual overview of the UN’s atrocity prevention agenda, distinguishing between structural and operational prevention. Subsequent chapters examine the roles of peacebuilding and peace education, both separately and in tandem, culminating in a proposal for a synergistic framework for integrating these mechanisms into the broader prevention agenda. The final chapter synthesizes the book’s findings and reinforces its call for institutional coordination and strategic engagement across UN entities. Presenting an interdisciplinary analysis, the book will resonate with readers seeking to understand and improve the mechanisms of atrocity prevention in a fragmented global landscape. It will be of particular interest to academics, researchers and policymakers working in the areas of Transitional Justice, Human Rights, International Criminal Law, International Relations and Genocide Studies.

Starting as a civil uprising calling for liberal reforms in March 2011, the unrest in Syria rapidly deteriorated into a proxy-led armed conflict involving multiple state-sponsored and non-state actors, including foreign militias and local armed groups. The current state of affairs in Syria, and the uncertainty regarding its future, raise numerous questions for scholars and practitioners of both international law and politics about justice within the context of a changing political reality in Syria. This book contributes uniquely to the scholarship on the Syrian war, raising voices from the Middle East and beyond not often heard within this research context. The volume is divided into three sections: Part I sets the factual and legal framework for the Syrian conflict; Part II focuses on the implications of the conflict for the Syrian neighbourhood; and Part III analyses possible post-conflict scenarios. Together, they address the key themes and questions of the conflicts.
