This includes cooperation in implementing the Plan of Action for Religious Leaders and Actors to Prevent and Counter Incitement to Violence that Could Lead to Atrocity Crimes; (g) Join existing or create relevant regional or subregional initiatives on atrocity prevention. I encourage States that are already part of early warning mechanisms or networks at the regional or subregional level to work towards including an atrocity prevention lens into these mechanisms; (h) Continue cooperation with my Special Advisers on the Prevention of Genocide and on the Responsibility to Protect in the development of options to strengthen civilian action to prevent atrocity crimes.

B. On awareness-raising and education 60. With regard to awareness-raising and education, Member States should: (a) Ensure that education systems reflect the ethnic, national and cultural diversity of their society and set an example of inclusiveness in their policies, and adopt materials and teaching methods that reflect human rights values, particularly respect for diversity, inclusiveness, equal citizenship and non-discrimination; (b) While promoting human rights education activities, disseminate knowledge of the principles of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, paying particular attention to the elements of prevention; 14
