60 years after the UN Convention - Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation

Acknowledgements
The larger part of this volume is based on revised versions of papers
originally presented to a conference on ‘Mass Violence in Africa’.
Funded by Sida, this conference was jointly organised by the Dag
Hammarskjöld Foundation and the Nordic Africa Institute and took
place in Uppsala in early December 2006, with the International Network
of Genocide Scholars (INoGS) as a collaborating partner. The
administrative and organisational support provided by Nina Klinge-
Nygård and Kajsa Övergaard before, during and after the conference
is gratefully acknowledged.
The second part of this volume presents revised inputs and results
from the ‘Dialogue Conference on Genocide’ at the Voksenåsen conference
centre near Oslo in mid-November 2007. This was organised
by Networkers SouthNorth in collaboration with Voksenåsen and
the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation, and supported by Norad, Fritt
Ord and Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.
The editor of the volume is Henning Melber and the co-editor of
the Voksenåsen part is John Y. Jones. We are grateful for the support
received from all those contributing in their various ways so competently
to this publication.
