Czerwinski underscores relevance of cherishing memory of Genocide victims"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>He was speaking to IGIHE after the 28th commemoration of Genocide against Tutsi in Poland on 12th May 2022.  <\/p>\n<p>Amb. Pawel Czerwinski said that commemorating Genocide against Tutsi is an opportunity for the world to learn from what happened and honour fallen victims.  <\/p>\n<p>He underscored that it is very important to fight denial of such crimes because propagandists deny the history of Genocide be it the Holocaust, Genocide in Cambodia, Bosnia or Genocide against Tutsi claiming that nothing happened or distorting facts.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have such kind of cultural negationism and it is very important to prevent this because if remembrance vanishes, there won\u2019t be a facto preventing humanity from allowing something like that to happen again,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p>Amb. Pawel also highlighted that the international community needs to concert efforts on mechanisms that will prevent violence both in domestic politics and also in international relations.  <\/p>\n<p>He said that it should be a rule for everyone across the world to ensure that violence does not take part of the process to solve any problems.  <\/p>\n<p>Among others, Amb. Pawel said that there should be mechanisms in which any country or politician in any part of the world must be held accountable for committed crimes by the international community be it sooner or later to prevent reoccurrence.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe crime cannot remain unpunished. That is why Poland always supported the international tribunal for the crime of Genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda. The painful side is one side of today\u2019s commemoration but we have to look forward to the future,\u201d he noted. <\/p>\n<p>Amb. Pawel commended Rwanda\u2019s progress in economic development, education and its contribution to peacekeeping efforts around the world.      <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1041\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UGddrl6UyRQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-42312 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/pologne_whatsapp_image_2022-05-12_at_10.54_04_am-84c11-2bdcf.jpg\" alt=\"Amb.
