Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) is pleased to announce its 16th annual Genocide Memorial Day, which will be held on Sunday, January 19th, 2025. This year’s theme is Resisting Genocide.
About the GMD 2025 event
The world’s first live-streamed genocide continues in Gaza, with every day revealing fresh horrors. The claim to championing universal human rights, so blithely trumpeted by the collective West, stands exposed in all its hollowness in front of Gaza’s bomb-blasted moonscape. Even after the International Court of Justice has ruled that there is a plausible genocide in Gaza, the West stands either complicit in or indifferent to the atrocities being perpetrated by Israel. Western complicity in the Gaza genocide is nothing new. Throughout history, wherever and whenever genocidal acts have been committed, the perpetrators have made great efforts to conceal, justify or dress up their crimes.
In the face of this industrial-scale slaughter and such overwhelming odds, there is still much that local populations can do. The right of resistance is a fundamental protection gouged into the tablets of international law. It is this theme of resistance to genocide which will form the theme of our next Genocide Memorial Day.
