Preventing mass atrocities: Could UK civil society be doing more?

The prevention of mass atrocities is a shared responsibility and no state, community or sector should be expected to shoulder the burden alone. In 2018 Protection Approaches authored a paper concerned with UK civil society contributions, drawing on extensive formal and informal conversations with civil society actors in the UK and abroad, in-house research, and the first working group workshop. It provides a picture of the great work being undertaken by UK NGOs in and around atrocity prevention, obstacles to more effective collective activity, and the road map for the working group's next steps.
