/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The 9th of December marks the day in 1948 when the
United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment
of the Crime of Genocide, an appreciation of the necessity that all
states work together to prevent a recurrence of the Holocaust and
other mass atrocities that preceded the Convention.
"Too often, the international community has failed to remain vigilant
to the various manifestations of genocidal situations, such as
"ethnic-cleansing" and targeting of civilian groups from which armed
elements draw their membership," United Nations Organizations says
in a release.
States are called upon to implement the preventive aspects of the
Convention and to support efforts to prevent massive and serious
human rights violations.
