The All Party Parliamentary Group for the Prevention of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity is a cross-party group that aims to ensure that the UK does all it can to prevent genocide.
We do not have a geographic or thematic focus, instead, we focus on cross-cutting issues and specific events. We follow the UN definition of genocide, as laid out in the Genocide Convention.
Our objectives are to:
ensure that the United Kingdom does all it can to prevent genocides and crimes against humanity, wherever they may be;
increase the flow of independent information and analysis to British Parliamentarians about genocides and crimes against humanity;
support Parliamentarians so as to increase the effectiveness of their scrutiny of government, and;
promote understanding of the causes of genocide, and the importance of long-term approaches to genocide prevention.
We do this by bringing parliamentarians together with civil society experts working on genocide prevention.
