We believe that education about holocaust, genocide and other mass atrocity crimes and fundamental human rights is one of the best investments for effectively preventing mass atrocities. Therefore, we argue for increasing efforts in the field of education as a tool for properly shaping the mindset of generations to come. We deem vital to invest in activities aimed at elaborating specific curricula, methodologies and proper teaching material and encourage to more effectively disseminate the knowledge and best practices available in this field. In numerous cases, majority and minority groups are educated and trained to mutual hate by fragments of biased history. Abused historical records and the “us and them” artificial dichotomy are passed from one generation to the next. For this reason, historians should be encouraged to explore the past, the root causes of tragedies and draw the lessons in close partnership with the representatives of minority groups.

In our view, there is a lot of tasks in developing national and regional capacities, where the activities should be started by mapping the current state of affairs. We believe that it is vital to scrutinize the capabilities in judicial systems and legislation with the objective of setting shared norms and rules and regulation of law enforcement.

It is evident that the inclusion of minorities in all these activities should be considered as top priority. It is of vital importance that the international organizations put the issues of minorities on their agenda from the angle of vulnerable groups and mass atrocities. That should considerably promote the preventive way of
