Title
Prevent Genocide International
Description
Prevent Genocide International is a nonprofit educational organization established in 1998 with the purpose of bringing about the elimination of the crime of genocide. The organization makes particular use of the Internet as a way of linking persons around the world in a transnational network of global civic engagement and action.
The foremost goal of Prevent Genocide International is to cultivate well-informed and articulate voices in many nations able to speak out in the emerging global civil society against the crime of genocide. Recent events in the former Yugoslavia, in the Great Lakes region of Africa and elsewhere demonstrate the urgent need for a network of individuals as well as local, national and international organizations capable of rapidly mobilizing the global public against possible future episodes of genocide.
It may well be possible that concerted action can prevent or halt an escalating attack on an endangered population group, thereby averting or mitigating an outbreak of genocide.
