Interethnic conflicts pose significant human rights challenges that require a concerted effort from governments, civil society organizations, and the international community to address. These conflicts occur when groups of people from different ethnic backgrounds clash due to differences in culture, religion, or language, and often result in human rights violations on a massive scale, including forced displacement, torture, rape, and even genocide. To prevent violations in inter-ethnic conflicts, it is essential to address the root causes of the conflicts and to promote dialogue, reconciliation, and respect for human rights. Governments and other actors must take proactive measures to prevent conflicts from escalating and to hold those responsible for violations accountable.
