National September 11 Memorial & Museum
180 Greenwich Street
New York, NY 10007
What:
“ISIS has threatened global security by capturing territory, enslaving minorities and killing civilians. It has targeted ethnic and religious minorities in Iraq and Syria, prompting the U.S. government to declare that the terrorist group is committing genocide.
The international community has a range of traditional military, diplomatic and economic tools at its disposal to respond to these killings. But do these options work when responding to non-state actors such as ISIS, al-Qaeda and Boko Haram, and do they prevent further terrorist atrocities? Cameron Hudson, director of the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide, joins expert panelists for a discussion moderated by Clifford Chanin of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.”
