International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda
Date: 7 April
On 23 December 2003, the General Assembly adopted a resolution designating 7 April 2004 as the International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda to commemorate –- on the tenth anniversary of those events—the victims and promote a recommitment to the fight against genocide throughout the world. Noting that many of the perpetrators continued to elude justice, the Assembly expressed its conviction that exposing and holding them and their accomplices accountable, as well as restoring the dignity of the victims, would guide societies in the prevention of further such violations.
