United Nations: To prevent genocide, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an end to identity-based discrimination, among other things.
Genocide is still a very real concern today. According to sources, he said in a statement on the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of Genocide that the international community has consistently failed to respond collectively, swiftly, and forcefully to prevent genocide and associated horrific crimes.
Since 1945, the world has seen the largest number of violent conflicts. They are becoming more sophisticated and lasting longer. Human rights and the rule of law are often violated, resulting in impunity. Hate speech, provocation, and discrimination based on identity continue to expand and are increasingly being exploited for political advantage and manipulation. He described these as "alarming warning flags" that should demand action.
"We are aware of the requirements. We must end discrimination based on identity and embrace diversity as a strength. Human rights and the rule of law must be respected. For previous atrocity crimes, we must assure accountability and compensation. We must also reconcile and heal communities that have been shattered "According to Guterres. He believes that young people, religious and community leaders, the commercial sector, and the media, particularly social media platforms, all have a responsibility to become preventive advocates. "By working together, we can avoid making the same mistakes we've made in the past."
