The world's first institute for researching the causes of genocide is being launched in Britain.

The Genocide Prevention Research Initiative, known as Aegis³, brings together academics from around the globe to research the causes of genocide and suggest prevention strategies for future intervention⁴ by governments and organisations.

Aegis' co-founder Stephen Smith said: "During the 20th Century millions of people were systematically⁵ slaughtered⁶ just because they belonged to particular ethnic⁷ groups ... every time we say it must never happen again, but we are still no nearer to understanding when and why genocide will recur⁸.

世界上第一个研究种族大屠杀起因的机构在英国成立。

种族大屠杀研究机构，Aegis,组织来自世界各地的专家研究大屠杀的起因并提出阻止策略，为将来各政府和各组织干涉这种行为提供帮助。

Aegis的创建者之一，斯蒂芬斯密斯说，“20世纪，数以百万计的人仅仅因为他们属于某个种族而被有计划的屠杀...每次我们都说这种事不能再发生了，但我们并没能更好地理解这种大屠杀将在何时以及为什么会再次发生。”
