This multidisciplinary review links three areas of legitimate inquiry for practitioners of medicine and public health. The first is occurrences of mass violence or genocide perpetrated against vulnerable populations, with a focus on the failure of national and international mechanisms to prevent or predict such violence. The second is evolving concepts of national sovereignty and an emerging framework in which the imperative to assist vulnerable populations supersedes a state's right to self determination. The last is how medical, public health, and other systems of surveillance and rapid assessment of mass violence can accelerate public awareness and facilitate structured, consistent political decision making to prevent mass violence and to provide international humanitarian assistance.
本多学科综述将医学和公共卫生从业者合理的三个研究领域联系起来。第一个领域是针对弱势群体实施的大规模暴力或种族灭绝事件，重点关注国家和国际机制在预防或预测此类暴力方面的失败。第二个领域是国家主权概念的演变以及一个新兴框架，在这个框架中，援助弱势群体的紧迫性超越了国家的自决权。最后一个领域是医疗、公共卫生以及其他大规模暴力监测和快速评估系统如何能够提高公众意识，并促进形成结构化、一致的政治决策，以预防大规模暴力并提供国际人道主义援助。
