Building a worldwide community of civil servants dedicated to Mass Atrocity Prevention.
(The Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation, New York, US)
This workshop focused on analyzing the contribution of the Auschwitz Institute (AIPR) to civil servant education for mass atrocity prevention. AIPR has been running since 2008 programs for civil servants from Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Ministries of Justice, Ministries of Defence and Ministries of the Interior from more than 70 UN Member States. AIPR’s main programs take place in Europe, Latin America and Africa. AIPR is focusing on trainings taking place at original sites of atrocity, using the power of place to mobilize civil servants for a work dedicated to mass atrocity prevention, protection of vulnerable groups and defence of human rights.
