A/HRC/7/34 page 15 73. As part of the General Assembly-mandated programme, “Lessons from Rwanda: The United Nations and the prevention of genocide”, the Department launched an exhibit at United Nations Headquarters in April. The exhibit travelled to locations in Burkina Faso, Canada, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa and the United Republic of Tanzania. Information kits and posters were produced in English, French and Kinyarwanda. Several workshops and conferences were held in Accra, Brazzaville and Bujumbura on such topics as the role of media in preventing genocide, peacebuilding and sexual violence. A photo project, “Visions of Rwanda”, was undertaken in November with both genocide survivors and perpetrators in Rwanda. Photographs from the project are expected to be disseminated widely in 2008. Work on related UNTV and UN Radio productions is ongoing, and a website in six official languages was launched in mid-December. 74. Activities in observance of other special days related to human rights were organized by the Department at Headquarters and by UNICs. These included International Women’s Day (8 March), International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (21 March), the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the trans-atlantic slave trade (25 March), World Press Freedom Day (3 May), International Day in Support of Victims of Torture (26 June), International Day of the World’s Indigenous People (9 August), International Day for Tolerance (16 November) and World AIDS Day (1 December). The Department prepared backgrounders and fact sheets and collaborated with OHCHR and other partners in the organization of media or other special events for many of these Days. B.

These included meeting summaries of the sessions of human rights treaty bodies or the Human Rights Council, statements by the High Commissioner and special procedures, or releases providing information about upcoming missions of human rights bodies, such as field missions of special procedures and human rights working groups. 76. In addition, UNIS Geneva has dedicated an information officer to work closely with the President of the Human Rights Council, and to serve as a liaison between OHCHR, the Council and the Information Service. UNIS press officers also finalize all press releases and statements issued by OHCHR, the High Commissioner and the special procedures. Council sessions always include a series of press briefings, organized by the service, by the Council President and human rights mandate-holders and, where possible, the service provides Headquarters with highlights or summary transcripts of these briefings. During the reporting period, 26 press briefings were held on human rights subjects, including briefings by the High Commissioner and Special Rapporteurs. 77.
