On August 4, 2011, the White House announced the Presidential Directive on Mass Atrocities which established a standing interagency Atrocities Prevention Board. Such a presidential statement and a new interagency process for preventing mass atrocities were key recommendations of the 2008 Genocide Prevention Task Force (GPTF) co-chaired by Madeleine Albright and William Cohen, and convened by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, the US Institute of Peace and The American Academy of Diplomacy. Other recommendations of the Task Force, a nonpartisan group of policy experts and former government officials, that have been adopted include the creation of a high-level position in the White House on mass atrocities, greater planning for mass atrocities at the Pentagon and State Departments and increased focus on threats of genocide in the intelligence communities
