UN Special Adviser on Prevention of Genocide, Adama Dieng, said if the international community took appropriate measures when early signs became visible, the incident could have been prevented. He was speaking as chief guest at a seminar, “1971 Genocide in Bangladesh,” organized by the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS). “On various occasions we sounded the alarm to call on the international community to take action against Myanmar before the atrocities began,” Adama Dieng said. He lamented the international community's inaction when it came to preventing the genocide against the Rohingya people. Member of Advisory Board of Liberation War Museum, Mofidul Haque, said there had been much denial after the war, that genocide took place in 1971.
