This year’s question was “Should the government act now to cut CO2 emissions?” If you attended the debate, tune in to hear what each Professor wishes he’d said; and if you missed the debate, tune in to hear two opposing perspectives on this issue from two of Fletcher’s finest:

The United States Congress is currently debating a resolution to declare the 1915-1917 killings of over one million Armenians a genocide. Why is this resolution appearing now? Why is it of interest
to modern-day Armenia? Why is there reluctance on the part of Turkey? Yeghishe addresses these issues from an international legal perspective.
