| Abstract: |
The article discusses the importance of Holocaust Remembrance Day, designated by the United Nations General Assembly on 27 January, to honor the memory of the 6 million Jews and other minority groups who were victims of genocide during the Nazi regime. It emphasizes the need for States to protect and promote human rights for all minorities and prevent identity-based discrimination and violence. The article also highlights the ongoing challenges in holding perpetrators of international crimes accountable and the importance of investing in atrocity prevention efforts globally. Additionally, it mentions the positive step towards negotiating an international convention for the prevention and punishment of crimes against humanity, aiming to strengthen the international legal framework to prevent and punish such crimes.
