The Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights seeks to enhance our understanding of mass human rights violations and the principles and mechanisms meant to prevent them, protect the vulnerable, and help victims recover. To this end, the Center promotes cutting-edge research and scholarship, educational initiatives, workshops and seminars, outreach and commemorative programs, and international collaborations related to genocide and human rights.
