Funded Activity Summary

An Early Warning Framework for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities. Australia is an active participant in international efforts to prevent mass killing and rebuild wartorn societies, with missions deployed in Timor-Leste, the Solomon Islands and Afghanistan. Australia is also a leading global advocate of the 'responsibility to protect'. The most important aspect of this doctrine is the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities. By developing a framework to provide timely and accurate forewarning of the outbreak of genocide and mass atrocities, this project aims to fill an important gap in the policy toolkit and make a positive contribution to evidence based policy-making that will help Australia prioritise humanitarian emergencies and craft appropriate preventive strategies.
