About the Event
Join the Hazara All Party Parliamentary Group alongside The Hazara Inquiry for the launch of the Hazara Inquiry Report where the panel will launch its recommendations. The report follows warnings from Amnesty International, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Genocide Watch noting increasing levels of violence directed towards the Hazara community and highlighting the risk of a possible genocide. In its conclusion the report states that there is a high likelihood that there is an ongoing genocide being committed against the Hazara in Afghanistan and Pakistan and that this is likely to continue. In its report the Inquiry makes a number of recommendations to the United Nations and the International Criminal Court including recommendations to the UK Government.
