The Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities (AIPG), formerly the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation,[1] is a non-profit organization devoted to genocide and mass atrocity prevention.[2][3] The institute is best known for its Raphael Lemkin Seminar for Genocide Prevention held annually at the Auschwitz concentration camp,[4][5][6][7] and for serving as the technical secretariat of the Latin American Network for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention.[8]

AIPG is an NGO that provides technical assistance and training to governments, emphasizing a long term approach to genocide prevention. It was founded in 2006[2] by Fred Schwartz,[9][10] and is directed from its beginnings by Dr. Tibi Galis.[11][12] The organization has offices in New York City; in Buenos Aires, Argentina; in Kampala, Uganda; in Bucharest, Romania; and in Oswiecim, Poland. Its partner organizations include the United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect[13] and the Hague Institute for Global Justice.[14]
