HGR INFO RESOURCES - Issue 3 Summer 2010
GPN Genocide Prevention Now intends to compile and maintain an ongoing international directory of organizations that promote an awareness of genocide and its ramifications along with its prevention.
As the number of organizations continue to grow yearly, the interest, concern and dedication to confront the issue of genocide grows. Our list is divided into the following types of organizations: Genocide Prevention Organizations, Scholarly Organizations, University-affiliated Institutes and Centers, Holocaust Organizations, Armenian Genocide Organizations, Cambodian Genocide Organizations, Kurdish Genocide Organizations, Native American Genocide Commemorative Organizations, Organizations that fund and support genocide projects and awareness, and organizations specializing in the genocides of other ethnic groups and others.
In Issue 3, we are presenting an additional fifteen organizations. For future issues, we plan on reorganizing the major categories of organizations to further assist readers with locating specific organizations along with their specialties.
The development of organizations in the field of Holocaust and genocide studies shows an activist as well as scholarly approach to the field. Through GPN, we want to provide an overview of the various organizations in the field, including those that address areas of genocide within their larger organization. We hope that people consulting GPN will be able to locate specific organizations that can assist them in their personal interest and approach to the field.
We are interested in receiving information about additional organizations that do not appear in our directory. Our aim is to build a comprehensive directory of organizations that reflect the truly interdisciplinary field of Holocaust and genocide studies.

Description
The Holocaust and the United Nations outreach programme seeks to remind the world of the lessons to be learned from the Holocaust in order to help to prevent future acts of genocide.
The outreach programme was created at the request of the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution 60/7, adopted on 1 November 2005. The United Nations Department of Public Information (UNDPI) has taken the lead in creating a broad initiative, designed to encourage the development by United Nations Member States of educational curricula on the subject of the Holocaust, and to mobilize civil society for education and awareness.
