sep 21, 2015 - Launching of the Early Warning Project

Description:

The Early Warning Project is an initiative dedicated to assessing and forecasting the risk of genocide or mass atrocities worldwide. Its mission is to provide early-warning analysis to help prevent mass violence before it occurs.

It is not a traditional organisation with large staff or global offices — rather, it is best understood as a specialized research and risk-assessment project, staffed by analysts and experts who compile data, monitor global trends, and issue periodic risk reports.

Over the years, The Early Warning Project has contributed to:

- The development of quantitative and qualitative risk-assessment tools for forecasting the likelihood of genocide in different countries.

- Publishing global risk rankings and reports that draw attention to countries at elevated risk of mass atrocities — which can inform policy makers, international organisations and prevention efforts.

- Increasing awareness among governments, NGOs and the public about early-warning signals of potential genocides or mass violence.

- Supporting the broader field of conflict prevention and atrocity prevention by providing data-driven insights and advancing academic and policy discussions about risk factors, triggers, and preventive measures.
