Today we honour the memories of all the lives lost on this day in 1960, when white police in apartheid South Africa killed over 80 black people and wounded 186 on what is known as the Sharpville Massacre.

#OTD 82 years ago, 15 Nazi leaders and German government officials gathered for a meeting in Wannsee, a suburb of Berlin. They met to discuss the coordination necessary for the mass murder of European Jews. No one questioned whether such a plan should be undertaken.

The 1948 #GenocideConventionestablishes a duty for states to prevent and punish #genocide.
Today we remember the #victims of all genocides, the success of the legal norms that the convention created, but also the necessity of ensuring these articles are upheld by all.
