The APPG’s objectives are to:

Convene cross-party collaboration on ensuring that the United Kingdom does all it can to prevent genocides and crimes against humanity;
Connect cross-party parliamentarians with civil society and academic experts in the field;
Increase the flow of independent information and analysis to British Parliamentarians about genocide and crimes against humanity;
Support Parliamentarians so as to increase the effectiveness of their scrutiny of government, and;
Promote understanding of the importance of long-term and upstream approaches to genocide prevention.
