Bangladesh at a Crossroads: Assessing Atrocity Risks and Advancing Atrocity Prevention Strategies

27 August 2026 1:00pm2:00pm
Bangladesh's political transition offers a chance to strengthen democratic governance, but also risks heightening identity-based violence, political repression, and mass atrocities if left unaddressed. Such transitions often expose longstanding grievances and institutional weaknesses, making early risk assessment and timely prevention critical. We invite you to join this dialogue on how Bangladesh can strengthen democratic institutions, protect vulnerable communities, and build a more peaceful, inclusive future during this online session.
