But the trend of events in Bosnia itself also demands the international community’s urgent attention, says Martin Shaw. DR Congo: arc of war, map of responsibilityThe political dynamics of conflict in Africa’s most complex region must be understood if enduring solutions are to be found. Martin Shaw reads fellow openDemocracy contributor Gerard Prunier’s book “From Genocide to Continental War”. Israeli settlements and “ethnic cleansing”The argument that the dismantling of Israeli communities in the Palestinian West Bank would amount to "ethnic cleansing" is increasingly being heard. It deserves close examination of a kind its proponents may not welcome, says Martin Shaw. Afghanistan and Iraq: western wars, genocidal risksThe enormous harm inflicted on civilians by the “new western way of war” can be measured in tens of thousands of deaths and displacements. But Washington and London’s responsibility goes even wider, says Martin Shaw. (This article was published on 24 July 2009) Sri Lanka - camps, media…genocide?What kind of violence has the Sri Lankan state been committing against its Tamil civilian population as the island‘s civil war ended; on what scale and with what intentions?
