The United States Institute of Peace: Strengthening U.S. Capacity to Prevent, Mitigate and Resolve Violent Conflict

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for the U.S. and global security.  In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate and resolve violent conflict.  To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully.  The lecture will introduce USIP's efforts to prevent and respond to mass atrocities.
