International day of reflection on the genocide in Rwanda
April 5, 2016
The annual commemoration of the genocide in Rwanda will be held on Monday, 11 April in the General Assembly Hall at the UN Headquarters in New York.
On 23 December 2003, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution (A/RES/58/234) designating 7 April, the start date of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, as the International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda. Every year, on or around that date, the United Nations organizes commemorative events at its Headquarters in New York and at United Nations offices around the world. Since the establishment of the Programme in 2005, commemorative activities have taken place in more than 20 countries.
