The Asia Pacific Snapshot is a bi monthly publication that provides a brief overview of atrocity risks across the region and notes key recent or projected future developments that will likely impact on atrocity risk.
The Centre's Country Studies ( formerly Risk Assessments) provide a brief historial overview alongside an update on the current country situation. It uses the "lens" of the Framework of Analysis for Atrocity Crimes, a tool developed by the UN Special Advisors on the Prevention of Genocide and R2P and other includes other indictors such as climate, gender and hatespeech and technology. The Strategies for Prevention or "recommendations" are based on the Framework For Action.
More general information about countries in the Asia Pacific can be found on the R2P in the Asia Pacific page. This includes other publications and work the Centre conducts in the region, as well as assessments of each country's overall adherence to the R2P norm.
The Asia Pacific Snapshot is a bi monthly publication that provides a brief overview of atrocity risks across the region and notes key recent or projected future developments that will likely impact on atrocity risk.
Like the Risk Assessments, the Asia Pacifc Snapshot utilises the Framework of Analysis for Mass Atrocity Crimes developed by the UN to review efforts made in addressing risks and identifying potential future triggers.
In mid 2024 the Asia Pacific Snapshot replaced the Regional Outlooks that also provided an overview of the critical issues relating to the implementation of R2P within the Asia Pacific region.

The Centre's Country Studies ( formerly Risk Assessments) provide a brief historial overview alongside an update on the current situation. It uses the "lens" of the Framework of Analysis for Atrocity Crimes, a tool developed by the UN Special Advisors on the Prevention of Genocide and R2P and other includes other indictors such as climate , gender and hatespeech and technology. The Strategies for Prevention or "recommendations" are based on the Framework For Action.
The Framework of Analysis is comprised of 14 Risk Factors of atrocity crimes which are each subsquently comprised of an accompanying set of Indicators. Risk Factors are divided into two different groups. Common Risk Factors can apply to the potential risk of any atrocity crime, while Specific Risk Factors are each associated with genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity (risks of ethnic cleansing are integrated into those of the other atrocity crimes).
The more Risk Factors and their associated Indicators are present, the greater the risk of atrocity crimes being committed. However, not all Risk Factors need to be present to represent a significant risk. Furthermore, Risk Factors and Indicators are not ranked by importance and should be considered in a broader context, taking into account a country's social, political, historical and cultural idiosyncrasies.
