Description

It was more than seventy years ago that United Nations member states approved the Genocide Convention born out of the desire to ensure that “never again” would any person face the horror of genocide. Since then, we have seen that the world is not free from the threat and reality of the “odious scourge” of genocide as laid out in the document. More than 20 genocides have taken place since the convention was signed and there are three that we know of happening currently - in Palestine, the Congo, and Sudan.
