About Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention was founded to fill a gap in the global prevention protocols. The founders built this institution to be responsive and flexible, transparent, and judicious, nonpartisan, and vocal. The Lemkin Institute believe that peoples in crisis need immediate action and direct support, even when the international community has its head in the sand. Many survivors have said that the worst thing about living through genocide was the sense that the rest of the world did not care and had forgotten about them. The Lemkin Institute wants to change this dynamic by putting threatened peoples at the center of its concerns.

Armenia Project of the Institute

Everyone knows that the Armenian people suffered a terrible genocide, known as the first genocide of the 20th century. The Lemkin Institute pays great attention to the threats of genocide and the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Armenian people of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). The Institutes demonstrates the need to intensify efforts to inform and create additional international mechanisms and guarantees to eliminate the risks of genocide and return the indigenous Armenian population of Artsakh to their homeland.
