Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation

The Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities (AIPG) is a non-profit organization devoted to genocide and mass atrocity prevention.[1][2] The institute is best known for its Raphael Lemkin Seminar for Genocide Prevention held annually at the Auschwitz concentration camp,[3][4][5][6] and for serving as the technical secretariat of the Latin American Network for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention.[7]

AIPG is an NGO that provides technical assistance and training to governments, emphasizing a long term approach to genocide prevention. It was founded in 2006[1] by Fred Schwartz,[8][9] and is directed from its beginnings by Dr. Tibi Galis.[10][11] The organization has offices in New York City; in Buenos Aires, Argentina; in Kampala, Uganda; and in Oswiecim, Poland. Its partner organizations include the United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect[12] and the Hague Institute for Global Justice.[13]
