Abstract

This article discusses the Eurocentric features of international criminal justice in the characterization of genocide and consequent denial of the genocidal victimization of black communities in the Diaspora. This dynamic is largely sustained by the symbolic overlap of genocide as a general category and more specifically as it was exacted the Holocaust, which positions the violation of European bodies as a unique expression of terror and dismiss the expressions of black suffering from the protections of international justice.
