ArmInfo.The resolution "Prevention of Genocide," submitted by Armenia, was unanimously adopted by the 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council.
According to the press service of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, this biennial resolution is based on the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and plays an important role in implementing the provisions of this important document in the operational sphere of UN policy.
The resolution aims to promote the ideology of early warning in the prevention of genocide and to identify the scale of risk factors, including hatred, discrimination, and impunity. The resolution also emphasizes the importance of a timely response, which can significantly contribute to preventing the escalation of violence. The resolution introduced this year proposes strengthening the mandate to prevent genocide in the context of the UN-80 reform process and draws attention to the potential for algorithmic systems and artificial intelligence tools to contribute to the spread of disinformation and hatred, influencing information flows and undermining human rights.
A resolution with the same title, previously introduced by Armenia, was unanimously adopted on April 3, 2024, at the 55th session of the UN Human Rights Council.
