WASHINGTON, DC — With deep pride, the Armenian National Committee Eastern Region announces that the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security is set to receive the very first Global Genocide Prevention Award at the 19th Annual ANCA-ER Gala.
The gala is scheduled to be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center in Washington, DC. Tickets for the Gala are available at: givergy.us/ancaer2025
The Global Genocide Prevention Award recognizes organizations and individuals whose work has significantly advanced international awareness, prevention, and accountability in the face of genocide and mass atrocities. This means centering human dignity, justice, and peace—especially for the most at-risk populations around the world, including the Armenian people.
This year, the ANCA Eastern Region is pleased to recognize the Lemkin Institute with this award for its courageous and principled leadership in bringing global attention to Azerbaijan’s genocide against Artsakh’s Armenian population. Furthermore, the ANCA Eastern Region notes the Institute’s ongoing efforts to secure the dignified and collective return of the forcibly displaced people of Artsakh and a lasting and just peace in the region.
