Since 2015, the Zovighian Public Office (ZPO) has partnered with communities and survivors of atrocities in the Middle East and South Caucasus to uphold voice, reclaim dignity, and advance justice through research, culture, and diplomacy.

Our commitments

We defend causes that are easily forgotten and are rarely in the public eye. Today we serve three crises of heightened concern: the Yazidi Genocide in Sinjar, the compounded crises in Lebanon, and the atrocities targeting Artsakhi Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. Our work transfers power back to survivors by building durable universal tools that honor truth and transforms governance.

High-integrity research

We commission and conduct investigative and mixed-methods research to document atrocity crimes and build evidence for justice, accountability, and international legal action.

Cultural creations

We preserve memory and uphold voice through community-led musical and artistic productions, short documentaries, storytelling, and archives that restore dignity and identity.

Humanitarian diplomacy

We convene global decision-makers to amplify the voices and needs of communities and survivors, secure public governance and legal reform, and transform broken systems through principled diplomacy.
