Waging Peace campaigns against genocide and systematic human rights violations. We have a particular focus on Africa, on atrocities overlooked by the international community and where minorities have been persecuted on racial or religious grounds. We work to secure the full implementation and enforcement of international human rights treaties wherever we campaign.

Our current priority is Sudan, where the conflict in Darfur and the civil war between the north and south have taken hundreds of thousands of lives, and the ongoing security situation continues to threaten the safety of civilians. Our experienced team produces regular high-level and in-depth research reports, which enable us to support the call for urgent, effective and measurable action from the UK government and the international community.
