Abstract
On the anniversary of the Genocide Convention, it is useful that we look back at the history of the crime of genocide, its relationship with crimes against humanity and that we reflect on its relevance today.1 Over the last nine years, I have spent a significant amount of time grappling with these questions, whilst writing East West Street.2 The book is about the lives of individuals seeking to understand how their particular circumstances contributed to the roads they took and how the roads thus travelled changed the system of international law. Underneath this lurks a bigger question, a central question of identity: who are we? Are we individuals or members of a group? And how do we wish the law to protect us, as individuals or as members of a group?
