The Institute for the Study of Genocide

The Institute for the Study of Genocide is a non-profit organization founded in 1982 to disseminate research and analysis on genocide and mass atrocities.

[UN Chronicle @_UNChronicle]

A crimes against humanity stand-alone treaty is a long-overdue addition towards completing the int'l legal architecture to prevent & punish such crimes.

#ElFasher came under #RSF assault today but apparently was not overrun. Nevertheless, the crisis remains profound and requires sustained attention from the UN Security Council, beyond an #ArmsEmbargo. The war has been devastating. #Sudan #Darfur @PrevGenocide

[The Institute for the Study of Genocide @StudyOfGenocide]

A UN fact finding panel on #Sudan has called for a peacekeeping force, strengthened accountability, arms embargo, and more expansive humanitarian aid. Will the #UN respond with the attention this case deserves? @PrevGenocide

79 years ago, the US dropped the first of two #atomicbombs on Japan. And yet we still live under the shadow of nuclear war and annihilation. We must do better. #Hiroshima @PrevGenocide @globalcmrpt

4️⃣ points about El Fasher UNSC resolution: 1. Wouldn’t have happened without each + all of folks below; 2. isn’t enough but a start; 3. UNSC action needed months ago; 4. Struggle for rez shows how fusion of ground voices, realtime info/analysis essential for successful advocacy

#ElFasher in #Darfur, #Sudan is expected to fall very soon to the #RSF rebels. This is a humanitarian catastrophe for civilians, and requires an immediate plan and response from the UN Sec Council and regional powers. Time has run out. @PrevGenocide @globalcmrpt

As one of the experts having warned about fighting in El Fasher, the nightmare scenario we have worried about since July appears to be beginning to unfold.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the #RwandanGenocide. At the time, the world turned its back on the mass slaughter of civilians, and proclaimed never again. And yet here we are.

The🆕UN Secretary General's report on #Haiti outlines how gangs have expanded to new areas in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area & beyond, prompting new outbreaks of unprecedented violence & resulting in 4,789 people killed. Insecurity has compounded the humanitarian crisis.
