Mass atrocity crimes start with the erosion of individual and group rights
"We spend far more time and resources responding to crises
rather than preventing them… We need a whole new approach...
For me, prevention is not merely a priority, but the priority."
Rights for Peace is a human rights organisation working to prevent mass atrocities by supporting local actors in fragile states.
Legal advocacy
We seek to address root causes and trigger points to prevent mass atrocity crimes: monitoring hate speech, researching laws and contexts to support legal advocacy.
Countering divisions
We help strengthen capacities and local narratives of unity through human rights education, focusing on the universality of human rights such as equality, non-discrimination, dignity and humanity.
