The International Crisis Group is now generally recognized as the world’s leading independent, non-partisan, source of analysis and advice to governments, and intergovernmental bodies like the United Nations, European Union and World Bank, on the prevention and resolution of deadly conflict. Crisis Group was founded in 1995 as an international non-governmental organization on the initiative of a group of well known transatlantic figures who despaired at the international community’s failure to anticipate and respond effectively to the tragedies in the early 1990s of Somalia, Rwanda and Bosnia. They are generally seen as playing a major role in six main ways:

ringing early warning alarm bells, in the monthly CrisisWatch bulletin, and in specific ‘conflict alerts’, e.g. in Ethiopia-Eritrea, Darfur, Georgia-Russia, Somalia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan; contributing, on both process and substance, behind the scenes support and advice to critical peace negotiations, eg in Sudan, Burundi, Northern Uganda, Zimbabwe, Aceh, Nepal and Kenya;
producing highly detailed analysis and advice on specific policy issues in scores of conflict or potential conflict situations around the world, helping policymakers in the UN Security Council, regional organisations, donor countries and others with major influence, and in the countries at risk themselves, do better in preventing, managing and resolving conflict, and in rebuilding after it: recent examples include Iraq (particularly the Kirkuk issue), Guinea, Colombia, Sudan’s Southern Kordofan, Haiti, Tajikistan and Bangladesh;
providing detailed information unobtainable elsewhere on developments regarding conflict, mass violence and terrorism of particular utility to policymakers, eg on the Jemaah Islamiyah in Indonesia, the many jihadi groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan and the Islamic Courts in Somalia; offering new strategic thinking on some of the world’s most intractable conflicts and crises, challenging or refining prevailing wisdom, e.g. on the Iran nuclear issue, the role of Islamism worldwide, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the way forward in Myanmar/Burma, Cyprus, Kosovo, Iraq and the Western Sahara;
strongly supporting a rules-based, rather than force-based, international order, in particular significantly influencing UN resolutions and institutional structures in relation to the new international norm of the ‘responsibility to protect’. (As retrieved from the group’s website)

Survivors Fund (SURF) was founded by Mary Kayitesi Blewitt OBE, a British citizen of Rwandan origin. Mary lost over 50 members of her family in the genocide and helped establish the first survivors’ organisations in Rwanda working for the Rwandan Ministry of Rehabilitation from July 1994. On her return to the UK in 1995 she began to support survivors through establishing SURF, registering the organisation in the UK as a charity (No. 1065705) and a company limited by guarantee (No. 03411565).

Survivors Fund (SURF) continues today to rebuild the lives of survivors of the Rwandan genocide. All our work is informed and underpinned by four guiding principles. SURF is:

– Committed over the long term to survivors and partners in Rwanda and the UK.
– Independent and flexible in its response to the priorities of survivors.
– Identifying activities to fund that are high impact and sustainable.
– Building the capacity of its partners to deliver programmes.

Holistic programmes are developed and delivered by survivor-led organisations including AVEGA (Association of Widows of the Genocide) and AERG (Student’s Association of Survivors), with technical support from SURF. Any one angle of assistance – be it medical, economic or social – would be an incomplete answer. Thus the programmes range from healthcare to house building, education to entrepreneurship.

Office of the Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide (United Nations)
Type: Genocide Prevention Organizations
Country: United States
Website: http://www.un.org/preventgenocide/adviser/

As appears on the UN’s website:
The Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide acts as a catalyst to raise awareness of the causes and dynamics of genocide, to alert relevant actors where there is a risk of genocide, and to advocate and mobilize for appropriate action.

The Special Adviser on the Responsibility to Protect leads the conceptual, political, institutional and operational development of the Responsibility to Protect.

The mandates of the two Special Advisers are distinct but complementary. The efforts of their Office include alerting relevant actors to the risk of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity, enhancing the capacity of the United Nations to prevent these crimes, including their incitement, and working with Member States, regional and sub-regional arrangements, and civil society to develop more effective means of response when they do occur.

The role of the United Nations in preventing genocide The foundation of the United Nations is closely linked to the desire of the international community to avert horrors such as the ones perpetrated during the Second World War. Through their mandates, operational activities and field presence in most countries, UN agencies, departments and programmes contribute to the prevention of genocide in a variety of ways, including by supporting equitable development, promoting the protection of human rights, providing humanitarian assistance and interceding to ensure peace, security and stability. In particular, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has the principal responsibility for United Nations human rights activities, including the promotion and protection of all civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, as well as the coordination of human rights activities throughout the United Nations system. It also services human rights treaty bodies, such as the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and human rights mechanisms, such as the thematic and country rapporteurs, who can provide warnings of the likelihood of genocide and make recommendations. The UN Departments of Political Affairs of Peacekeeping Operations work to ease political crises and threats to peace. Other UN bodies, such as the UN Development Programme, the UN Children’s Fund, the World Food Programme, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, help mitigate or even prevent the circumstances that can lead to genocide.

Email: info@genocideintervention.net
Website: http://www.genocideintervention.net/

Description: Our mission is to empower individuals and communities with the tools to prevent and stop genocide.

Established in 2005, Genocide Intervention Network is mobilizing the first permanent anti-genocide constituency committed to stopping the worst atrocities around the world. It includes a worldwide coalition of investors, a national fellowship of local leaders across the United States and over 1,000 student chapters at colleges and high schools. We focus on situations of genocide and mass atrocity, which we define as the systematic killing, severe torture or rape of civilians on a massive scale.

Our goals are ambitious, and our mission is critical — we hold world leaders accountable for the commitments they’ve made to prevent genocide and develop targeted programs to impact the lives of those at risk of violence and mass atrocity. We work closely with policy experts, world leaders, and anti-genocide activists in the fight to prevent and end genocide.

We address the root cause of the world’s failure to stop genocides — the lack of political will — by creating an educated and empowered permanent anti-genocide constituency at the national scale. It is this constituent pressure that can make genocide prevention an important and relevant political priority for elected officials and policymakers.

Genocide Intervention Network has expanded its efforts beyond Darfur, to include conflict areas such as Burma, and Democratic Republic of Congo. (Retrieved from the Network’s website).

Unity Statement
We stand together and unite our voices to raise public awareness and mobilize a massive response to the atrocities in Sudan’s western region of Darfur.

Responding to a rebellion in 2003, the regime of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and its allied militia, known as the Janjaweed, launched a campaign of destruction against the civilian population of ethnic groups identified with the rebels. They wiped out entire villages, destroyed food and water supplies, stole livestock and systematically murdered, tortured and raped civilians. The Sudanese government’s genocidal, scorched earth campaign has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives through direct violence, disease and starvation, and continues to destabilize the region. Millions have fled their homes and live in dangerous camps in Darfur, and hundreds of thousands are refugees in neighboring Chad. Violence continues today. Ultimately, the fate of the Darfuri people depends on establishing a lasting and just peace in all of Sudan and in the region.

We are committed to the goals that the Save Darfur Coalition advocates for, including:

-Ending the violence against civilians;
-Facilitating adequate and unhindered humanitarian aid;
-Establishing conditions for the safe and voluntary return of displaced people to their homes;
-Promoting the long-term sustainable development of Darfur; and
-Holding the perpetrators accountable.

We call on the United States, other governments, the United Nations and regional organizations to focus their efforts on ending this crisis. (Retrieved from the coalition’s website).

Description: The Zoryan Institute is an international center devoted to the research and documentation of contemporary issues related to the history, politics, society, and culture of Armenia and Armenians around the world. Research is conducted both to document past and current events, and to analyze their impact on individuals and institutions in Armenia and the Diaspora. The Institute strives to develop a framework within which people can understand and participate in conceptualizing the critical and fundamental issues dealing with current and future challenges within a global context.

To these ends the Institute stresses the highest standards of scholarship and objectivity in undertaking and supporting multi-disciplinary research, documentation, lectures, seminars, colloquia, and publications in three broad subject areas: Genocide, Diaspora, and Armenia.

The Institute makes its collections and analyses available, and provides research assistance to scholars, writers, journalists, film-makers, government agencies, and other organizations.

Functioning as a resource for facts, ideas and images, the Institute promotes the application of scholarly research on relevant issues to the activities of individuals and organizations, for whom such shared information can be a catalyst.

The International Institute for Genocide & Human Rights Studies is engaged in research, publication and education in the field. This is achieved through comparative and interdisciplinary analysis of such cases as the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, Cambodia and Rwanda, among others. We strive to show through a comparative approach that genocide is a shared human experience and, as such, must be the concern of all individuals and institutions.

The creation of the Center for Armenian Research and Publication at The University of Michigan-Dearborn (Knights of Vartan Endowment, Armenian Research Center), was due to the vision of Dr. Dennis R. Papazian and other far-sighted members of the Knights of Vartan, a North American fraternal Armenian organization, who desired to establish a facility devoted to documentation and publication in the field of Armenian studies and research which would be attached to a well-known and highly respected American university.

The Center would be dedicated to documenting the Armenian Genocide and current Armenian issues, and establishing a resource center available to students, faculty, and the public. It was to engage in anti-defamation work and was to inform opinion makers, officials and the public regarding issues of interest to the Armenians. (Retrieved from the center’s website).

Ukrainian Canadian Research & Documentation Centre

Address: 620 Spadina Ave. Toronto, Canada
Country: Canada
Email: info@ucrdc.org
Website: http://www.ucrdc.org/

Description: The UCRDC was established in 1986. It evolved from a committee formed by a group of Ukrainian Canadians in Toronto who were organizing a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Holodomor in Ukraine—the famine genocide perpetrated by the Soviet regime in 1932–1933 that claimed an estimated seven million Ukrainian lives.

The committee collected personal accounts from eyewitnesses of the famine living in Canada and set up a research fund, which in 1982, was formalized into the Ukrainian Famine Research Committee.

Using the collected material, the Famine Research Committee produced a documentary film Harvest of Despair four years later which enjoyed great success. Thus, in 1986 the Committee restructured into a research institute and changed its name to the Ukrainian Canadian Research and Documentation Centre.

Its scope, while continuing to encompass work on the Holodomor, was broadened to include research on other historical events relating to Ukrainians in Canada, Ukraine and other parts of the Ukrainian diaspora. (Retrieved from the centre’s website).
