Politics of Denial and Non-Recognition of Genocide: The Case of the Rohingya (Palgrave Macmillan, Aug. 2026) [open access]

- "While the mass atrocities against the Rohingya are well-documented, this book shows how recognition and accountability continue to be constrained by state denial, geopolitical diplomacy, and legal thresholds. Drawing on transdisciplinary backgrounds, the contributors reveal how the Rohingya have been systematically rendered stateless through denationalisation and state-sponsored narratives, which continue to shape the search for justice, including through the ongoing International Court of Justice case. The book’s distinctive contribution is to combine survivor-centred evidence with broader legal analysis. Organised in three parts, the chapters combine socio-legal analysis with empirical evidence from refugee camps, addressing structural violence, water insecurity, gender-based violence, domicide, media-framing, and the governance of protracted displacement.  In doing so, the book goes beyond familiar accounts of displacement to show how genocide operates before, during, and after 2017 through genocidal denial. It connects Rohingya survivor testimony, grounded field evidence, and contemporary debates on genocidal intent, non-legal definitions, and post-atrocity governance."

- "This book investigates the reasons behind the absence of consolidated protection concerning disaster displacement in the EU. ...Through a comprehensive and detailed analysis, it sheds light on the challenges and misconceptions faced by individuals displaced across borders in the context of disasters. It offers a thorough examination of existing legislation, policies, and case law at both the national and EU levels, with a particular focus on Italy. By addressing these issues, it provides a valuable insight for academics, policymakers, and decision-makers, advocating for an evolutive approach to protection claims related to disaster displacement. It calls for the dismantling of State-led barriers to asylum, arguing that such measures are neither effective nor human rights compliant."
