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.
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
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

#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.
Important statement from leaders of the largest humanitarian organizations: "The UN Security Council cannot continue to ignore its responsibility to protect civilians" #Sudan
