In our latest Dispatches from the Field, TGR examines the origins of Haiti's TPS designation, the continuing humanitarian crisis, and the legal principles relevant to removal and protection against return to serious harm.

Peace isn’t a single day. It’s a daily investment.
I’m this International Day of Peace, we’re honoring the everyday architects of peace—the defenders, first responders, and truth-tellers working to prevent atrocities before they happen. This year’s UN theme says it best: Invest in Peace—Fir Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day. At TGR, that’s the work: early warning g, documentation, education, accountability.

Peace isn't declared once a year—it's built, protected, and defended every single day. On this International Day of Peace, The Genocide Report honors the everyday architects of peace: the human rights defenders, first responders, and witnesses who refuse to look away from atrocity so others may live in dignity.

This year's UN theme, "Invest in Peace — For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day," also calls for accountability. Atrocity prevention isn't abstract — it's early warning systems, international law enforced without exception, and communities empowered to document what's happening to them before it's too late.

Join us in investing in peace, not just today, but every day.

Learn about the International Day of Peace, its significance, and the relationship between peacebuilding, human rights, and atrocity prevention.

The weekend of 15-16 August marked the passage of five years since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan. Since then, women and girls have been largely erased from public life.

Afghanistan under Taliban rule is the only country in the world to deprive girls of formal education beyond primary school. Authorities have also curbed women’s ability to work, travel, act independently and even partake in social and leisure activities. The Taliban’s policies have stifled the aspirations of a generation of Afghan girls and women.

The country’s rulers, particularly the emir and his inner circle in Kandahar, show no sign of moderating those positions, instead reinforcing their harsh restrictions.

This denial of their rights repels much of the world. Yet thus far, the Taliban show no sign of reforming, and little suggests their grip on power is under threat. Unless they can change course and tackle some of the country’s core troubles, Afghans face a deeply uncertain and unstable future.

World Humanitarian Day is marked each year on the anniversary of the 2003 bombing of the Canal Hotel in Baghdad, an explosive weapon attack that killed 22 aid workers. Twenty-three years on, humanitarian workers and civilians are still being killed by the same means, in the towns and cities where they work.

Almost 90 percent of the attacks on aid were recorded in Palestine, while incidents tripled in Myanmar and increased by 80 percent in Sudan.

In Gaza, the most dangerous environment for aid workers, they were killed in convoys, in warehouses and in displacement camps and while distributing aid; health and rescue workers were killed in “double tap” strikes that hit those attending the casualties of an earlier attack.

This harm is preventable. Restricting the use of explosive weapons in populated areas would stop much of it, and 92 states have committed to that through the Political Declaration on EWIPA. As part of the International Network on Explosive Weapons, Mines Action Canada is calling on states to meet those commitments.

Humanitarian workers are increasingly operating in environments where the risks are extraordinary. They are threatened, detained, attacked, and killed while delivering food, medical care, shelter, protection, and other lifesaving assistance. International humanitarian law is clear: humanitarian personnel must be respected and protected. World Humanitarian Day is therefore about more than recognition. It is about responsibility. Protect humanitarian workers. Preserve humanitarian access. Uphold international humanitarian law. And hold accountable those who attack the people working to save lives.

World Humanitarian Day honors aid workers worldwide and highlights the role of humanitarian action in protecting civilians and alleviating suffering.

Today, we honour the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela—a leader who reminded the world that justice, dignity, and freedom belong to everyone.
Mandela Day is more than a commemoration. It is a call to action.

Whether you spend 67 minutes volunteering, stand alongside a marginalized community, advocate for human rights, mentor a young person, or simply choose compassion over indifference, every action matters.

Human rights are protected not only by laws but by ordinary people who refuse to accept injustice.

This Mandela Day, let's build communities where dignity is respected, equality is defended, and no one is left behind.

What will your 67 minutes look like?

Learn about Nelson Mandela Day, his legacy of justice, reconciliation, and human rights, and his impact on peacebuilding and atrocity prevention.
