Recommendation
Armed conflict and mass atrocities are linked, but overfocusing on conflict is likely to miss atrocity risks, to leave groups unprotected and to ignore how atrocities themselves can drive conflict. In addition to conflict prevention, the Government must explicitly recognise the separate but interlinked priority of atrocity prevention.
Government Response Summary
From 2023, the government will expand the existing atrocity prevention section of the annual Human Rights and Democracy Report. The OCSM will complete this section drawing information from a range of other teams within FCDO and other relevant Government departments.
