April 20 the UN Commission on Human Rights unanimously passed
Armenia's resolution to the Convention on Genocide Prevention and
Condemnation. Though the Convention was adopted in 1984 the mankind
has not been freed from the evil yet. Thus, the resolution submitted
by Armenia is directed to unification of efforts of the international
community and development of mechanisms of genocide prevention.
Last year the UN Secretary General appointed Argentinean human rights
advocate Juan Mendes the Special Adviser on Genocide Prevention. To
date the Commission stresses the necessity of propaganda of genocide
prevention in accord with the Convention principles and notes that
the impunity threats with the repetition of the crime.
The main objective of the resolution is the genocide prevention as
a key instrument for regional and international peace and stability
as well as establishment of friendly relations between states.
To note, 52 countries, including the EU states are the co-authors of
the resolution.
