The Institute for Research of Genocide, Canada is partnering to design a Raphael Lemkin Seminar  for National Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention

The objective of this initiative would be to develop a highly trained network of  community leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina and equip them with the professional tools  and the personal commitment to prevent genocide and mass atrocities while endowing  them with the latest knowledge of the policy tools available, both domestically and  internationally. Our desire is to engage all communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina –  religious, governmental, academic, and civil society – and work with them towards  developing a network of organizations that would educate and act in the spirit of  genocide and mass atrocity prevention. Ultimately, this initiative will lead to the  development of a genocide and mass atrocity curriculum for institutions of higher  education in Bosnia and Herzegovina, thus establishing a long-term mechanism to  counter the threat of mass atrocities through preventive awareness and enabled action.
