Diplomatic corps around the world use similar simulations to test policies and train their officers.<\/p><p>The simulation was attended by 58 students from schools across ASU and was designed by James Finkel, a former senior U.S. government official with experience in efforts to prevent and respond to mass atrocities. They were placed into six different teams each led by a <a href=\"http:\/\/newsletters.asucollegeoflaw.com\/irls\/2019\/09\/04\/mass-atrocity-response-simulation-team-leader-bios\/\">former U.S. government official<\/a>. The goal was to simulate the actual lived experience that diplomats across the world go through when confronted with an unfolding mass atrocity.<\/p><p>My desire to learn about atrocity prevention prompted me to go to law school. The simulation felt realistic and provided fascinating insights about policy-making, diplomatic negotiations, and the development of interpersonal relationships as one of the most important aspects in stopping atrocity crimes. It was profoundly eye-opening.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">Over the course of six marathon sessions, we were presented with conflicting and incomplete information about an atrocity that was happening in real time in a real place. The atrocity was fictitious but the root causes of it were real. We had to understand the barrage of \u201cinjects\u201d\u2014classified memos, press stories, maps, pictures, and rumors\u2014that we received in real time to each of our inboxes. Each team received different injects. We had to appoint ambassadors, walk across the building to try to get information from other teams, prepare a response and a policy, and ultimately figure out, over two days, if it was in our best interest as a country, to stop a genocide.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">We failed to stop the genocide.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f6f83d6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f6f83d6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-957ea7d\" data-id=\"957ea7d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0fce60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a0fce60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In this simulation, the <em>world<\/em> turned a blind eye\u2014as it often has\u2014to what it had already declared a low-intensity conflict that was too far away and not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ushmm.org\/confront-genocide\/defining-genocide\/us-government-statements-on-genocide1\">legally sufficient<\/a> to be a genocide.
