How can we predict and prevent genocides? Greg Stanton outlines his groundbreaking theory on the eight stages of genocide: classification, symbolization, dehumanization, organization, polarization, preparation, extermination and denial. Genocide in Darfur, he argues, has proceeded through these stages before our eyes. Genocide could have been prevented by means of intervention at any one of a number of critical points in the past, but the international response has amounted to too little, too late.
Author Bio: Gregory H. Stanton is the founder and president of Genocide Watch, the founder and director of the Cambodian Genocide Project, and the founder and Chair of the International Campaign to End Genocide. He is the Vice President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and served in the State Department, where he drafted the United Nations Security Council resolutions that created the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

lozer244, he shakes because he has health issues. Stanton travels around the world giving talks and helping set up tribunals (Rwandan Tribunal, Cambodian Tribunal, etc). He is quite a mover and shaker in the anti-genocide world.
The Ethiopian gove under TPLF regime carried out genocide against the Anyuak, Gambela indigenous simply to take over their land. God is watching over us!
Many perpetrators regard themselves as victims. In their accounts, in their recollections, and probably even in their most sincere gut feelings, many perpetrators see themselves as people who have been unjustly treated and hence deserve sympathy, support and extra tolerance for any wrongs they may have committed. This is witnessed with individuals, bloodlines, genetic mind structures, consciously and subconciously. Only an unbiased perspective sets us free .... for forgiveness, and healing.
Thank you, for these insights. I would very much appreciate, if Genocide Watch will have a vid out, in which "all" the genocides of the past are listed, as well as those, going on, or are on the way, Worldwide, right now. My father has informed me, when I was a child, about the Holocaust. Not many people in Germany did much, against it. Since then, my credo is: Währet den Anfängen - Be aware of the beginnings!

Polarization: The first people killed in any genocide are not the pariahs themselves but those in the mainstream who speak up for them. The voices in the middle are silenced through threats, arrests or even killings. Now the message of hate goes unchallenged.

I doubt he is nervous.
I was referencing a paper, which would have complemented, what you are saying.
