About the Genocide Institute

The Genocide Institute is an independent, non-partisan research center dedicated to the scholarly study and prevention of genocide, crimes against humanity, and related forms of mass violence. Organized as an nstitute, we combine rigorous academic research with public engagement and policy-relevant analysis.

Our work is grounded in interdisciplinary scholarship spanning history, law, political science, sociology, and data-driven early warning analysis. By integrating these approaches, the Institute seeks to deepen understanding of how mass atrocities emerge, how they can be prevented, and how accountability can be strengthened after violence occurs.

The Institute maintains academic independence and methodological transparency. We do not advocate for political parties or governments. Instead, our mission is to support evidence- based decision-making, informed public discourse, and the education of students, professionals, and the wider public on issues of genocide prevention and response.
