The Promise of "Never Again"

The Obama Administration's establishment of the new Atrocities Prevention Board has stated a clear commitment to making genocide prevention a priority. This commitment is not yet a reality. U.S. agencies still need to be organized effectively and funded adequately to prevent another Rwanda.

Stories & Successes

Preserving U.S. Investments in War Prevention

FCNL Statement of Legislative Policy

By strengthening U.S. contributions in three areas, diplomacy, development, and international cooperation, the United States could shift its foreign policy away from late military reaction to crises and toward early, peaceful prevention. That change would save lives and treasure.
