Watch video of Vanderbilt law professor Michael Newton discussing "The Iraq Genocide: Personal Perspectives and Legal Residue." The lecture is part of the university's 30th annual Holocaust Lecture Series.
Newton, acting associate professor of clinical law, was in Kurdish camps as citizens fled to the mountains in 1991 amongst the destruction of villages by Saddam Hussein. Newton will discuss the political and legal salience of the subsequent Iraqi High Tribunal, where he served as an international law adviser to the judges. He will highlight the perspective of the victims in the context of Iraqi society.
