The President's Atrocity Prevention Board
A former member of the senior civil service, James P. Finkel served as the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Center for the Prevention of Genocide's 2013-2014 Leonard and Sophie Davis Genocide Prevention Fellow. During the final 20 years of his 35-year federal service career, he held positions that provided him an insider's eye view of the evolution of U.S. policy toward international accountability and the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities. Well versed in the challenges of preventing mass genocides and mass atrocities, Finkel was a participant in President Obama's Presidential Study Number Ten (on mass atrocities).
Finkel holds a master’s degree in international affairs from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and a B.A. from Rutgers University.
Mr. Finkel’s talk is sponsored by CMC’s Mgrublian Center for Human Rights.
