“Universal respect for human rights and humanitarian law and the prevention of atrocities internationally promotes U.S. values and fundamental U.S. interests in helping secure peace, deter aggression, promote the rule of law, combat crime and corruption, strengthen democracies, and prevent humanitarian crises around the globe,” Obama said in the proclamation.
The president also ordered the establishment of an interagency Atrocities Prevention Board to help strengthen the United States ‘ ability to prevent mass atrocities. The new panel is set to begin its work within 120 days.

“Sixty-six years since the Holocaust and 17 years after Rwanda , the United States still lacks a comprehensive policy framework and a corresponding interagency mechanism for preventing and responding to mass atrocities and genocide,” Obama said in a written statement. “This has left us ill-prepared to engage early, proactively, and decisively to prevent threats from evolving into large-scale civilian atrocities.”

The president instructed administration officials to undertake a 100-day review of the current “inventory” of diplomatic, economic, and other tools available to policymakers with respect to the prevention of human rights violations. The goal of the review, according to a White House statement, is to help devise more coordinated responses and prevention efforts on both a domestic and international level.
African SurViVors International (ASI) is an international nonpartisan charity organization devoted to defending human rights. It’s an organization working to promote democracy and national reconciliation, inside countries of the African Great lakes Region.
ASI centers its work on the twin concepts of freedom of self-determination and freedom from tyranny. These ideals include the belief that all human beings have the rights to speak freely, to associate with those of like mind, and to leave and enter their countries. Individuals in a free society must be accorded equal treatment and due process under law, and must have the opportunity to participate in the governments of their countries;
ASI’s ideals likewise find expression in the conviction that all human beings have the right to be free from arbitrary detainment or exile and from interference and coercion in matters of conscience. ASI does not support nor condone violence.
