What To Do If Your Community Is Threatened By Genocide

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide
Prevention has grown from the Iraq Project
for Genocide Prevention and Accountability,
which was launched in 2016/2017 to
address the need for long-term capacity
building in genocide prevention in Iraq.In the wake of ISIS genocides, we saw anenormous grassroots interest in Iraq inending the cycle of violence and promotinga lasting peace. We are now bringing thatwork to the global grassroots. We chose to take the name of the “father ofthe Genocide Convention,” Raphael Lemkin,because of the enormous impact hissociological and historical studies have hadon our approach.As of 2021, the Lemkin Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in theUnited States that works across the worldto help threatened communities inpreventing genocide and other massatrocities.
