The project is "Web-centric", in that its primary focus is on organizing and making more readily accessible information that is currently freely available over the Web (along with some information from sources, such as academic journals, that can only be accessed through universities and other institutions that pay the required subscription fees). While we will, on occasion, generate new information to fill in gaps in the knowledge base, the vast majority of the information comes from the Beyond Intractability system or other, existing sources to which we link directly.
 

• General overviews of the genocide problem and strategies for approaching it
• Causes of Genocide - analysis of the political, social, economic, cultural, and psychological dynamics that increase the probability of genocidal behaviors
• Impacts of Genicide over the short and long-term
• Case studies and histories of genocidal or potentially genocidal events
• Organizations doing genocide prevention or recovery-related work
• Research & Theory -- Information about scholarly efforts to better understand the genocide problem and potential solutions

• Preventive Actions -- Many organizations focus on taking a wide range of actions to try to prevent serious, inter-group conflict before it starts. While the following topics also constitute preventive action, the articles in this section are broader than those topics, addressing many different approaches to prevention.
• Strengthening Co-existence -- Since virtually all societies include competing identity groups that view one another with hostility, suspicion, and distrust, there is a critical need for programs that help these groups learn how to coexist in ways that assure that the inevitable competition remains nonviolent. 
• Protecting Rights -- A great deal of attention is being paid to what human rights are, and how they can be protected--both before rights violations take place, or afterwards to prevent recurrance. 
• Early Warning -- Since, under the right circumstances, tensions can quickly escalate to violent (and sometimes catastrophic) confrontations, it is critical that crisis response efforts be undertaken as quickly as possible once violence begins. An effective early warning capability is an essential step to speed the intervention process.
• Early / Crisis Response -- In situations where tensions have escalated to violent confrontation, it is important to have the ability to respond promptly in ways that are effective in bringing about an end to the violence. This may require that the "responsibility to protect" principle be invoked.
• Large-Scale Intervention -- In cases where large-scale, genocidal violence is occuring, domestic and/or international actions capable of bringing about an end to the violence are required (this also may include the implementation of R2P-related responses).
• Peacekeeping -- Once the violence has stopped, peacekeeping is often implemented to prevent future flare-ups.
• Transitional Justice -- Also once the violence stops, the task of recovery begins with questions about whether and how best to hold perpetrators of the crimes accountable. Though tribunals and truth commissions are the best known approaches to transitional justice, there are other approaches as well. All are described in this section. 
• Reconciliation -- As transitional justice issues are resolved (or at least underway), programs are needed to help societies with the forward-looking task of reconciling hostile relationships, making remediation when necessary, and restructuring the society in ways that will promote coexistence and discourage renewed violence.

We recognize that many resources pertain to multiple tasks and roles. In these cases, we tried to list them everywhere they apply or we put them in a special category for comprehensive resources that touch on almost everything.
 

• Domestic Activities undertaken within a nation experiencing genocidal conflict
• International Activities undertaken by other nations to help address the problem
• Coordination Sector -- Organization that specialize in the coordination of genocide prevention activities. 
• International Diplomatic Sector -- Institutions within the international community that are responsible for organizing efforts to prevent or respond to genocide.
• Security Sector -- Genocide is an act of extreme violence that can often only be prevented or limited by security services capable of physically restraining those that employ such violence. 
• Domestic Political Sector -- Political restructuring within affected societies that protects all groups must be central to any solution.
• Transitional Justice Institutions -- National and international institutions designed to administer justice following periods of genocidal violence including both criminal courts and alternative programs such as truth and reconciliation commissions. 
• Civil Society -- Civil society includes a broad range of activities undertaken by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to help societies promote coexistence at the psychological and social levels. 
• Education Sector -- Programs designed to help people understand the history of terrible events, appreciate group differences within society and learn coexistence, and conflict resolution skills.
