Broadcasting UN Entity
2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Despite continuous efforts of the international community to prevent genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, mass atrocities continue to persist, often preceded by a range of early warning signs.
Building on the deliberations of the 4th Global Forum Against the Crime of Genocide, the panel will look into the existing and emerging challenges of the digital age in preventing and addressing atrocity crimes. Bridging human rights, technology, innovation and humanitarian agendas, the event will examine impact of digital tools in monitoring warning signs and risk factors that can lead to preparation and perpetration of atrocities.
