36. We agree that robust analytical capabilities to monitor and identify countries and groups at risk of mass atrocities are essential. The OCSM will continue to innovate its analytical capabilities, as well as working with Posts and teams across FCDO and wider HMG who focus on risk, data, and analysis. The OCSM is currently designing and testing new analytical templates and guidance, including for atrocity prevention, which have been informed by best practice. The OCSM will continue to focus on atrocity prevention as part of improving its broader analytical tools such as the Joint Analysis of Conflict and Stability (JACS). We are also working with open-source and data specialists (internal and external) to develop tools and resources that the OCSM and Posts will be able to employ to remotely monitor risks.
