On April 7, 2008, at New York University Law School Armenian National
Committee of America Eastern Region (ANCA-ER) Executive Director Karine
Birazian will be participating on a panel organized by Miracle Corners
of the World (MCW) and Jacqueline’s Human Rights Corner for an event
entitled "’Never Again?’: Implications and Actions around the World."
"It is such an honor to participate with Miracle Corners of the World
on this upcoming panel which will also mark the 14th Anniversary
of the Rwandan Genocide," commented Birazian. "Having recently met
with the organizer of the event, Rwandan Genocide survivor Jacqueline
Murekatete, it was moving to hear her story and the ongoing need for
genocide education awareness."
The event is expected to bring together genocide survivors from around
the world and world-renowned genocide prevention educators and voices
to examine the crime and reality of genocide in the 20th and 21st
centuries. They will discuss how the phrase "Never Again" has yet to
be fully implemented by the international community, and share how
individuals can work together to create a world without genocide.
