the High Commissioner for Human Rights in 2011 and 2012. Essentially the Plan implores state and non state actors to go beyond a legal approach in dealing with incitement to atrocity crimes and develop a much broader set of policy options to prevent and curb incitement. Following the outcome of the Geneva expert seminar, a policy paper entitled "preventing incitement to violence that could lead to atrocity crimes: policy options , - for action," was prepared. The paper has a specific focus on preventing incitement in situations . where violence - and the risk of atrocity crimes -' is imminent but where the window of opportunity for preventive action exists. Experts in Geneva underlined the need to pay special attention to preventing incitement to violence that could lead to atrocity crimes in certain situations, particularly in the context of religious tensions, I launched the policy paper in New York on 26 September, during a side event to the 68th General Assembly co-hosted by Belgium. The policy paper will also be presented here in Geneva tomorrow during a side event to this Forum. I very much hope to see you all at the event, My Office will disseminate the policy paper widely. Drawing from one of the main finding of this policy paper that religious leaders have a paramount role in preventing and curbing incitement, My Office has decided to organise a forum with senior religious leaders and groups to explore their specific contribution to prevent atrocity crimes. This forum, which will likely take place in the first half of 2014, aims ultimiately to enhance societies' resilience to atrocity crimes. My Office has also developed a training programme for States; The purpose of this programme is to build and enhance states' capacities to recognize risk factors for atrocity crimes and identify possible preventive measures to be implemented at national level. The Office has so far conducted training with more than 40 Member States. Moreover, we have been assisting States to carry out activities to address the risk of inter-communal tensions that could lead to violence. For example, this year the Office has facilitated a number of peace tribrunals in Tanzania, organised by the Tanzania National Committee for the Prevention of Genocide, War Crimes, Crimes against Humanity and all form's of Discrimination. The forums brought together Muslim and Christian communities for dialogue and identified measures to prevent further tensions and the risk of violence at the local and national level.
