About
The Early Warning Project is a joint initiative of the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth College.
The ultimate goal of this project is to contribute to the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities. While our system highlights and analyzes those cases where mass atrocities are currently ongoing, we seek to shine a light and spark discussion on those cases where mass atrocities have not started, but where risks are detected.
As the first public early warning system for mass atrocities, this project aims to provide governments, civil society groups, and other influential actors early and reliable warnings of mass atrocities and, as a result, greater opportunities to take preventive action.
