About [Edit]
Aegis means `Shield` or `Protection` in Greek.
The Aegis Trust works towards the prevention of genocide.
Aegis is motivated by those who have experienced genocide. Their stories are at the heart of the organisation.
Fundamentally, Aegis believes that no-one, whoever they are, should face discrimination, even death, as a result of their ethnic origin or beliefs.
The main objectives are to:
* Document the experience of people who have suffered genocide.
* Preserve the memory of the victims of genocide.
* Undertake research that betters the understanding of the causes and consequences of genocide.
* Disseminate knowledge and understanding about genocide.
* Inform and shape policy to protect against genocide.
* Promote education that improves the understanding of how genocide occurs.
* Assist those who suffer the consequences of genocide.
* Empower people to make a difference, to protect against genocide.

Hi Aegis Trust,
Lt. General Romeo Dallaire and Dr. Frank Chalk of Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (Concordia University) are the Co-Chairs of the Will to Intervene Project’s groundbreaking policy report "Mobilizing the Will to Intervene: Leadership and Acton to Prevent Mass Atrocities." http://migs.concordia.ca/W2IInfo.html
The Report, which is the result 18 months of research and over 80 interviews with high-level Canadian and American policy makers and opinion shapers (some of who are on record for the very first time) will be launched in Washington, DC at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) on September 21 and in an Ottawa, ON press conference the following day.
