HOY CONMEMORAMOS 30 AÑOS DEL GENOCIDIO EN RUANDAHoy se conmemoran 30 años del genocidio en Ruanda, en el cual un millón de personas, principalmente Tutsis -muchos de ellos mujeres, niños y jóvenes- fueron asesinados.

La comunidad internacional no debe olvidar a las víctimas y debe garantizar que esto no se repita, lo que implica rechazar categóricamente todas las formas de odio y discriminación.

Costa Rica honra el valor y resiliencia de los sobrevivientes y recuerda que ninguna ideología de odio debe permitirse, pues puede conducir a situaciones de violencia extrema, como sucedió en Ruanda en 1994.
