She assesses that although some progress has been made since the publication of the Report of the Task Force on the European Union Prevention of Mass Atrocities in 2013, and for which she coordinated research, many issues remain. In her opinion, these include:
- A lack of consensus leading to fragmented and interest-based action;
- Misperceptions regarding atrocity prevention as being key to/for European strategic objectives;
- The necessity to work towards political prioritization, to establish a structural prevention approach and to sharpen effective warning-response mechanisms.
