RWANDA
The Secretary-General spoke at the memorial ceremony to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. That event was organized by the Department of Global Communications and the Permanent Mission of Rwanda.
The Secretary-General, in his remarks, said the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda is a stain on our collective consciousness and a brutal reminder of the legacy of colonialism and hate speech.
