International Day of Commemoration for Victims of Genocide

  In terms of Genocide prevention , the critical step is to identify the factors (discriminatory practices) in a given situation that lead to or account for acute disparities in the treatment of a diverse population, and to seek ways to diminish and eventually eradicate these possible causes of genocidal violence . Given that no country is perfectly homogeneous, genocide is a truly global challenge.

  All governments must ratify and fully implement the convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, or the Genocide Convention . We must strengthen prevention tools, including education and countering hate speech . Decisions of the International court of Justice must be respected and implemented. Early warning sings must be identified to sound the alarm.
