International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime will be observed today in the country as elsewhere in the world.

Different originations have chalked out various programmes marking the day. The Liberation War Museum has drawn up an elaborate programme including candle lighting and recitation from essays on genocide.

A special function will be held in the museum auditorium where a young research team of the Center for the Study of Genocide and Justice at Liberation War Museum will present a report on the Rohingya issue.

Argentine Irina Massimino, an internationally renowned expert in genocide study, will discuss the report. A musical band, Obscure, will also perform.

The Liberation War Museum has been observing the day since after the United Nations declared it on September 11, 2015 to create awareness among the people on genocide.
