Dr James Smith, co-founder of genocide prevention organisation The Aegis Trust will speak at UCL on 24 November.

His lecture 'Action to End Genocide' will take place at 6-7.30pm, to be followed by a reception.

The lecture is hosted by the UCL Institute for Human Rights in conjunction with the UCL Grand Challenge for Intercultural Interaction.

The lecture will be accompanied by an exhibition 'Drawings of Genocide: Darfur through the eyes of its children' curated by London-based charity Article 1. The drawings by Darfurian and Chadian children describe attacks on their villages, and have been accepted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague as contextual evidence for war crimes. Venue: Main Lecture Theatre (lecture) & Keeton Room (exhibition/reception), UCL Laws Faculty, Bentham House, Endsleigh Gardens.
