Launch of the Ira D. Wallach Fund for the Eradication of Genocide

Global Action to Prevent War Offices
January 17, 2008

The late Ira Wallach was a longstanding champion of efforts and activities to promote a strong, just system of global governance. Supported by the Miriam and Ira Wallach Foundation, this new fund will provide a wide range of programmatic and capacity support for affiliated centers in diverse global regions committed to development of a United Nations Emergency Peace Service (UNEPS), a standing, individually-recruited, gender integrated capacity that can respond rapidly and effectively to outbreaks of genocide, crimes against humanity and other humanitarian emergencies anywhere in the world
