The Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation was created to honor the victims of Auschwitz by ensuring that no other individual anywhere in the world experiences their fate of being killed because of their identity. Since its founding in 2006, AIPR has worked with over 80 countries around the world. Through education, training, and technical assistance, AIPR supports governments to develop or strengthen policies and practices for the prevention of genocide and other mass atrocities.
Too often, genocide and atrocity prevention has become synonymous with military intervention at the height of a crisis. We take a long view of prevention. Preventing genocide and other mass atrocities involves recognizing the identity groups that are most vulnerable within a given society and developing policies and structures that protect and improve the lives of those groups. If the human rights of every individual within a society are protected, that society will never experience the large-scale violence and mass killing typically associated with genocide. There are no one-size-fits-all recipe for what large-scale change looks like. The most innovative and appropriate solutions to a society’s problems come from within, not from without. We support government institutions—providing training, resources, and assistance, where needed—in developing policies and programs that better the lives of vulnerable groups. We facilitate the creation and functioning of regional networks so that government actors can collaborate with others within the region to implement programs. And we offer multiple avenues of training at a global scale to ensure government and grassroots actors have the tools they desire to make real change happen. We invite you to learn more about our programs by visiting our website. To learn more, visit www.auschwitzinstitute.org. |
