  Online Encyclopedia of Mass Violence project launchedApril 3, 2008 - 17:01 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Online Encyclopedia of Mass Violence launched today the first working tool on the crimes against Humanity perpetrated on all the continents, during and after the 19th century. Four pages are dedicated to the Armenian Genocide, independent French journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net This Encyclopedia Project aims to create a regularly updated electronic database focusing on massacres and genocides of the 20th century. Currently, there is no tool available that documents and classifies our knowledge by continent, country and historical period. The Encyclopedia's first objective is to fill this gap by offering reliable historical description and interdisciplinary analysis of both well-documented and less well-known 20th century massacres. Such a unique database will not only be valuable to scholars, but also the NGO community, international legal experts, policy makers and journalists. Anyone seeking a reliable account regarding a specific case of massacre, in a particular country or on an exact date will now be able to locate the information on the Encyclopedia. The Online Encyclopedia provides chronological indexes, case studies, analytical contributions on socio-political violence in a given country, a glossary of the terms most often used in genocide studies as well as theoretical papers written by the most representative authors in the field.
