Situation
Most of the world’s long running conflicts are fuelled and fought over ethnic, linguistic, religious and cultural issues. Yet, too many conflicts that have minority rights at their centre are not being understood as such and minority rights have remained marginalized in international conflict prevention.
Solution
Our conflict work will be about disseminating early warning and other public information about minority rights abuses, thus contributing to preventing conflict and mass atrocities. It will also be about responding on the ground to the needs of communities which have suffered from or which are at risk of conflicts. This programme may also contribute to develop the capacity of local organizations & tackle the discrimination & poverty faced by these communities.
