UN Genocide Prevention

In December 1948, @UN General Assembly, by unanimous vote, affirmed that #genocide is a crime under international law. It is a crime whether committed in times of peace or war. Marking 75 years since the Convention, take a look at its notion & use. youtu.be/_JnlWOx-huo?si…

The world is witnessing an utter disregard for – if not outright violations of – international law; with no accountability. @antonioguterres says failures to uphold international obligations are coming at a staggering cost — measured in lost lives and shattered communities.

"It is so easy to break down and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build" - on #MandelaDay & every day, we remind of Mandela's wisdom. It is still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity, and make this world a better place. Learn more: un.org/en/exhibits/pa…

Nelson Mandela showed how one person can transform oppression, struggle & subjugation into reconciliation, social justice & unity. Change starts not in capitals, but in communities. On #MandelaDay, let's remember that the power to end poverty & inequality is in all our hands.

“Depois de #Srebrenica, mais uma vez o mundo disse: #NuncaMais. No entanto, o discurso de ódio está em ascensão — alimentando discriminação, extremismo e violência. Vemos novamente a glorificação de criminosos de guerra." - @antonioguterres  ➡️ bit.ly/ONU-Srebrenica

The 30th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica is not only a moment of reflection. It is a call to vigilance & action. At a time when hate speech, denial & division are gaining ground, we must stand firm for truth & justice.

Friday is the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica. 30 years on we remember the victims, acknowledge the grief of the survivors & families of the victims, and express our deepest respect & solidarity. un.org/en/observances…

'Today, thanks to the unwavering courage of the survivors, we mark 11 July as the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 genocide in Srebrenica', Acting Special Adviser on Prevention of Genocide, Pramila Patten on #Srebrenica30 🔽 youtu.be/_uSbHYZOGy4?fe…

30yrs ago-8,327 Bosnian Muslim men & boys were slaughtered & families decimated in #Srebrenica genocide. Despite judgments by international & domestic courts, denial persists. On this day of deep sorrow, I stand with survivors urging leaders to face the past openly & honestly.

An entire generation was deprived of its future in #Srebrenica genocide, and lives of subsequent generations remain impacted. On #Srebrenica30, we honour the victims and reaffirm our solidarity with survivors and their families in countering genocide denial. #RememberSrebrenica
