Storyline

After meeting with the President of Central African Republic (CAR), the United Nations (UN) Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide, Adama Dieng, said he was “particularly happy” with the support the President of CAR gave to the newly established Committee for the prevention of genocide and other crimes.

Dieng also said “if we today have a country that was shaken by crime and atrocity it is because we were not vigilant. We need to take necessary measures that will allow us to early identify the risk factors for criminal atrocity.”

The National Committee for the Prevention and Punishment of the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity and all forms of discrimination was inaugurated Tuesday (17 May) in capital Bangui.

The Committee is composed of 36 members - 29 from Bangui and seven from the regions - representatives of the government, civil society, women's associations, youth, religious leaders.

The role of the committee is to identify the causes and early warning signals and contribute to strengthening the process of reconciliation by organizing peace forums and initiatives that bring populations.
