Dr. Greg Stanton, founder and president of Genocide Watch, and president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, created the Eight Stages of Genocide to provide a methodical analysis to predict and prevent genocides. The Eight Stages of Genocide are:
1. Classification
2. Symbolization
3. Dehumanization
4. Organization
5. Polarization
6. Preparation
7. Extermination
8. Denial
In this video, Dr. Stanton provides a summary of the Eight Stages of Genocide, and then applies this theory to the genocide in Darfur.
