The Genocide Prevention Task Force, convened by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the United States Institute of Peace, and the American Academy of Diplomacy and co-chaired by Madeleine Albright and William Cohen, released Preventing Genocide: A Blueprint for U.S. Policymakers on December 8, 2008. The report explains why genocide and mass atrocities threaten core American values and national interests and how the U.S. government can prevent these crimes in the future.
This program is organized in partnership with the U.S. Institute of Peace and in cooperation with the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, the Jewish Community Relations Council, My Sisters Keeper, Physicians for Human Rights, the Massachusetts Coalition to Save Darfur, and the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy.
