The All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Prevention of Genocide and other Crimes Against Humanity (the Genocide Prevention Group) is an informal group of Parliamentarians composed of members from all parties in the House of Commons of Canada and the Senate of Canada with an interest in the prevention of genocide and similar crimes against humanity.
[1] It was inspired by the success of a similar parliamentary group in the United Kingdom and grew out of the Save Darfur Coalition initiated in 2006.
The Executive is composed of a Chair, three Vice-Chairs, one from each of the parties represented at Parliament, and an ex officio member.
The Genocide Prevention Group is currently monitoring a range of ongoing and developing situations, as well as emerging fields in genocide prevention and mass atrocity monitoring.
The group has recently been involved with the W2I Project run by the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies.
