In principle, it should not be difficult. The world\u2019s non-mass-murdering countries are wealthy and powerful, having prodigious military capabilities (and they can band together). The countries perpe\u00adtrating mass murder and eliminationist politics, or tempted to do so, are overwhelmingly poor and weak (and each stands alone). Many could easily be stopped with a little military power and probably with other available, easily employable means. The powerful countries seriously ap\u00adplying their resources would radically change potential perpetrators\u2019 cost-benefit calculus, heavily tilting the scales toward noneliminationist political options.<\/p>\n<p>What might a world standing against eliminationist and extermina\u00adtionist politics look like? Of a political and legal response to mass murder and eliminationist politics\u2019 three components\u2014prevention, ces\u00adsation or intervention, and punishment\u2014the international community should focus on prevention. For three reasons: First, ideally elimina\u00adtionist assaults would never begin (precluding the need for intervention and justice). We also know\u2014or at least can strongly presume\u2014that prevention works. It is manifestly so that our era\u2019s mass murders and eliminations do not constitute the full set that would have happened had no deterrents\u2014no domestic or international preventive structures\u2014 been in place. The simple fact is that democratic political institutions, in contrast to nondemocratic or tyrannical political institutions, radi\u00adcally reduce eliminationist politics\u2019 incidence. This fact alone shows prevention\u2019s feasibility and, in principle, easy achievability. Prevention works in many other realms internationally (war\u2014how many coun\u00adtries would attack others if there were no military deterrence?) and do\u00admestically (crime) to reduce undesired and proscribed deeds. Second, developing an effective prevention regime, whatever the difficulty, is substantially easier than an interventionist one, which the world\u2019s coun\u00adtries and their international institutions have shown no willingness to create\u2014and, with the Americans\u2019 (and their allies\u2019) difficulty in Iraq and Afghanistan, will be still less likely to want, at least for the fore\u00adseeable future. External intervention\u2019s recent successful instances, though heartening insofar as any such intervention is better than what came before, are less auspicious than they may seem. East Timor was a rare instance today of <em>imperialist <\/em>eliminationism, so it probably has lit\u00adtle relevance for domestic eliminationist assaults and, even there, two decades of inaction preceded the intervention. The former Yugoslavia was the closest to some kind of proximity to Western consciences and interests causing huge refugee problems and destabilizing the region, yet even there only after colossal human tolls did NATO\u2014but not the United Nations\u2014mobilize itself to act. So the status quo continues: Eliminationist politics, with few exceptions, stop either when the per\u00adpetrating regime finishes its job or decides for other internal reasons to halt the assault, or when the perpetrating regime is defeated in war for reasons having little if anything to do with the eliminationist politics it\u00adself. Finally, establishing a preventive regime is also preferable to rely\u00ading on a justice regime, which operates <em>after <\/em>the mass extermination and elimination have taken their toll. Furthermore, instituting a pre\u00adventive regime is easier than developing a regime meting out genuine justice (to all perpetrators and not just a select few), i.e., justice that in\u00adcludes some certainty of timely punishment and that fulfills the exten\u00adsive requirements of perpetrators\u2019 political, material, and moral repair to right the wrongs and to repair the harm as best they can.<\/p>\n<p>In thinking about prevention, we should bear in mind eliminationist campaigns\u2019 frequent unpredictability. We need general measures that <em>by their ordinary functioning <\/em>will reduce mass slaughters and elimina\u00adtions. In certain instances, an eliminationist assault, including mass murder\u2019s potential imminence, becomes obvious, as it was in Rwanda and Kosovo. In such cases specific interventionist measures ought to be taken (just as intervention can occur immediately, or any time, after the slaughtering begins). But in general, and this is most relevant for crafting anti-eliminationist policies, we cannot count on foreknowledge or, in instances we acquire it, assume the relevant outside actors will decisively act to forestall the assault.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking seriously about prevention should build upon the analysis of the critical political and nonpolitical factors generally producing mass murder and eliminationist politics: (1) features about modernity itself and the modern state; (2) structural relationships of certain states; (3) the international context (or environment); (4) beliefs about certain groups and understandings of politics and society that lead political leaders and their followers to think eliminating those groups desirable; and (5) proximate factors producing the political opportunity and will to turn eliminationist desires into eliminationist onslaughts.<\/p>\n<p>In principle, prevention can take place and therefore target any or all of these factors. But as a practical matter, all these factors are not equally susceptible to alteration. If altered, not all would be equally ef\u00adficacious in reducing eliminationist politics\u2019 incidence and destructive\u00adness. And not all are as easily or likely to be targeted with the necessary measures. Still, examining each one, at first briefly, can help point the way toward thinking more seriously about crafting effective and ade\u00adquate policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the book Worse Than War: Genocide, Eliminationism, and the Ongoing Assault on Humanity by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen.
