The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) is an international non-partisan organization that seeks to further research and teaching about the nature, causes, and consequences of genocide, including the Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, the genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Burundi, Bosnia-Herzogovina, Bangladesh, Sudan, and other nations. The IAGS also advances policy studies on the prevention of genocide. The association's members consider comparative research, case studies, links between genocide and other human rights violations, predictive models for prevention of genocide, and tribunals and courts for the punishment of genocide. The organization's membership includes academics, anti-genocide activists, artists, genocide survivors, journalists, jurists, and public policy makers. Membership is open to interested persons worldwide.
The association has passed formal resolutions recognizing the Armenian genocide, the Greek and Assyrian genocides, and genocides in Darfur, Zimbabwe, Iran, by ISIS in Syria and Iraq, and in Myanmar against the Rohingya.
The official peer-reviewed academic journal of the association is called Genocide Studies and Prevention.
