APAC offers a collaborative platform to fortify the pillars of global peace, security, and respect for human rights through concerted policy-making, advocacy, and actionable strategies. It merges diverse parliamentary insights with survivor-centric civil-society and rigorous academic research to enforce justice and cultivate resilience in affected communities.
Our membership is broad and diverse. In this diversity, there is the potential to change atrocity prevention globally by connecting policy makers with survivors, civil society and academics working in the field. We bring our members together on thematic topics, such as transitional justice, and country specific crises to share knowledge, lived experience and ideas.
At the core of our work is a conviction that survivors of atrocity crimes are not just beneficiaries of justice initiatives—they are essential change agents. We believe that meaningful prevention and response to mass atrocities is only possible when survivors are front and centre: their voices guiding interventions, their experiences shaping advocacy, and their insights lighting the path forward.
We support survivors to hone their advocacy—from personal storytelling to strategic engagement with national and international policymakers. Our capacity-building programs offer skills in public speaking, policy analysis, media outreach, and coalition-building. By accompanying survivors as they develop and amplify their advocacy, we help turn lived experience into actionable influence.
