When is International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda, recognized by the UN observed?

07-Apr
20-Dec
06-Nov
14-Nov

The correct answer is: D. 14 November.

The International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda is observed on 14 November each year. This date was chosen to commemorate the beginning of the Rwandan genocide, which took place from 7 April to 15 July 1994. During this time, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were killed, mostly Tutsis and moderate Hutus.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution in 2003 to establish the International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda. The resolution calls on all member states to observe the day in a manner that “promotes peace, reconciliation and healing in Rwanda and the region.”

The day is also an opportunity to raise awareness of the dangers of genocide and to reaffirm the commitment of the international community to preventing future atrocities.

The other options are incorrect because they are not the dates on which the International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda is observed.
