As of March 2025 our publication, R2P Monitor, will no longer be available in PDF format. Updated country analysis will be shared through our mailing list three times a year in March, July and November, as well as posted to our Populations at Risk page.
Our country analysis applies an atrocity prevention lens to situations where populations are experiencing, or are at risk of, genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity or ethnic cleansing. For each population at risk we provide detailed background on the situation, with particular emphasis on broad trends, key events and actors and their connection to the threat; highlight recent developments in the situation that may have increased the risk of mass atrocities or improved the circumstances facing populations; offer analysis of the factors and indicators that have enabled the possible commission of mass atrocity crimes or prevented their resolution; provide an atrocity risk assessment listing five key factors that are contributing to the worsening of the situation or exacerbating risks; and suggest necessary action to prevent or halt the commission of mass atrocity crimes and protect populations.
We assess situations across two categories:
For our March 2025 detailed analysis, see our Populations at Risk pages: Afghanistan, Cameroon, Central African Republic, the Central Sahel (Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger), China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Myanmar (Burma), Nicaragua, Nigeria, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela and Yemen.
