                In order to prevent the repetition of crimes against humanity, we must promote in different educational centers an education with values, focused on respect for the dignity of the human being, so that students learn the value of the defense of human rights and become aware of the importance of building paths for the peace of the human family, and measure the consequences of wars and any other discriminatory and belligerent behavior.

Speech Given at the Foreign Ministry of Guatemala

We are part of history, and therefore, we must demand that the Holocaust and any other crime against humanity not be repeated. We believe that forgetting the Holocaust is a crime, and not making it known to new generations would make us accomplices of those who perpetrated it and those who currently deny it. The Holocaust is the saddest defeat of free civilization. This crime perpetrated by the Nazi regime is the dark page in the history of Germany; and therefore, of the human race.

For this reason, the example set by Colombia with the Anti-Discrimination Act is truly remarkable and worthy to follow. Meanwhile, in Europe, far-right movements founded on xenophobia and the blaming of certain groups—usually a minority—for the bad economy, are gaining ground in countries such as Greece, Austria, and France.

The participants agreed that as a preventive measure, it is necessary for present and new generations to be taught based on respect for human dignity and the fundamental rights of human beings.

Dr. William Soto | SPEECH GIVEN AT THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF COSTA RICA


The worst crimes against humanity occurred in the 20th century, and even after the United Nations issued the Universal Charter of Human Rights, we saw cases such as the massacre in Rwanda in 1994, which left 800,000 people dead, and as another example, horrible crimes were committed against different ethnic groups in Guatemala and throughout Central America. This makes us aware that we should not forget the past: we must remember history, as it is the best legacy we can leave to future generations. We must not allow ourselves to repeat the dark 20th century.
