Rwanda: UNESCO Asks for Full Genocide Info to Add Memorials to World Heritage

7 February 2014

There is need for a wide compilation of information about four Genocide memorials that have been short-listed to be part of the World Heritage Sites if they are to be fully added to the global heritage list, an official at the National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG) has said.

Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre in Gisozi, Ntarama Genocide site in Bugesera District, Murambi memorial centre in Nyamagabe District, and Bisesero Genocide Memorial in Karongi District, were temporarily added to the World Heritage Sites list by UN cultural agency, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural organisation (Unesco) in 2012.
