The day aims to honour and remember all victims of genocide and promote global prevention efforts.
The day was first observed in 2015 by the UN General Assembly.
The day aligns with the 1948 UN Genocide Convention, which defines genocide and obligates states to prevent and punish it.
Genocide involves acts committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, including killing, causing harm, and forcibly transferring children.
