TheInternational Network of Genocide Scholars (INoGS) is a non-profit and non-partisan organization dedicated to fostering scholarlymulti-disciplinary exchange and academic debate in the field ofgenocidestudies.[1]
The INoGS was founded in January 2005[1] in Berlin, initially named the "European Network of Genocide Scholars".[2]: 16 According toIsrael Charny, the founding presidentJürgen Zimmerer stated that he would change the name from ENoGS to INoGS; there was a vote by those present that was "resounding[ly]" opposed to the change; and the change was implemented despite the result of the vote.[2]: 16
According toJack Nusan Porter, INoGS was a split from theInternational Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), mainly by European researchers, for two reasons: the researchers who created INoGS viewed IAGS as concentrating too much on declarations rather than research; and a public conflict occurred betweenIsrael Charny andMartin Shaw over the assessment ofIsrael's role in theDeir Yassin massacre andits occupation of Palestinian territories.[3]: 259–260 Charny described the creation of INoGS as occurring independently of IAGS, stating, "There was no prior collaboration with IAGS about the development of INOGS."[2]: 16
INoGS is open to researchers, teachers and students from all academic disciplines working on genocide and mass violence, and has worked closely with academic research units such as the Centre for the Study of Genocide and Mass Violence of theUniversity of Sheffield in 2008.[4]
Since 2005, theJournal of Genocide Research has been associated with INoGS.[2] INoGS regularly organizes and sponsors international conferences and workshops on the subject of genocide studies.
