Preventing and addressing violence and atrocities against minorities 2014, para. 88
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Fact-finding and investigations commissions established at the earliest possible stage can play an essential role in stopping the escalation of further violence. States in which violence and/or atrocities targeted at minority groups have previously taken place should establish violence prevention and response policies and strategies that can rapidly be employed to avert the threat of renewed violence or can work in a wider policy context to prevent violence. Fostering community resilience and remembering and honouring the victims can help States to strengthen social cohesion and prevent atrocities from occurring again. The creation of museums and memorial places to pay tribute to the victims of all sides are important initiatives to that end.
