The Relocation Of The Ottoman Armenians in 1915 And International Law: Questioning The Incidents In The Legal Sphere is a much needed gap-filler.
Albeit the multitudinous literature has hitherto been produced through the lens of history either by the pro-Armenians or the Turks, there is hardly any published research on the legal feature of the events of 1915. Therefore, this attempt to fulfill the lacuna in the literature makes the study unique.
This study primarily analyses the relocation of Armenians in the sphere of international law to investigate the validity of the alleged genocide. It claims that if the convention were to be implemented, the relocation of Armenians would not constitute the crime of genocide. It also illustrates that under the current international criminal law the relocation of Armenians could not be qualified as crime against humanity or even a war crime.
