THE LETTER OF THE INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH OF GENOCIDE CANADA TO THE CHAIR OF THE ALL-PARTY PARLIAMENTARY GROUP FOR THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE AND OTHER CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY {APPG}

 

 

Dear Honorable Paul Dewar,

 

On behalf of the Institute for Research of Genocide Canada, as well as on my own behalf, it is both an honour and a pleasure to thank Mr. Paul Dewar, Chair All-Party Parliamentary Group in Canadian Parliament  for the Prevention of Genocide and Other Crimes Against Humanity for invitation Institute for Research of Genocide Canada at this important meeting. The goal of our Institute is to document and accurately illustrate all materials related to acts of Genocide. While demonstrating these facts we encourage and support academic and scientific dialogue on the matter based on democratic principles and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As a scientific organization, we are apolitical. Our aspirations are moral and humanitarian in nature and we only differentiate between justice and injustice. The Institute experience and knowledge acquired in the area of studying the holocaust, genocide, and other forms of crimes against humanity and international law, constitute a relevant basis for profiling and leading all scientific, thus educational, current and future projects of the Institute, and its scientific-based activities. The Institute shall pay special attention to the education and further development of young scholars in the area of studying the holocaust, genocide, and other forms of crimes against humanity and international law. We stand in solidarity for all genocide victims and assert that in order to prevent further genocides in the world, it is crucial that we take upon ourselves the responsibility to raise awareness by furthering understanding as well as condemning the atrocities inflicted on the Bosnian people in the the 20th century.

It has been my honor and pleasure to extend my most sincere welcome on behalf of the Institute for Research of Genocide of Canada and my own behalf and wish you to be fully and timely informed on the relevant scientific, researching, and other activities of the Institute.

All information about the Institute is available on the web page www.instituteforgenocide.ca, which opening on January 27, 2010 at the International Day of Remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust, as an important reminder of the universal study of the Holocaust, a unique evil which cannot simply be left to the past and forgotten.
