17. Reiterates the importance, when addressing complex situations that might
lead to genocide as defined in the Convention, of a prompt and comprehensive examination
of a set of multiple factors, including legal factors and possible warning signs as identified
in, inter alia, the report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of the Five-Point
Action Plan and the frameworks of analysis developed by the Special Adviser on the
Prevention of Genocide, such as the existence of groups at risk, the massive, serious and
systematic violation of human rights, the resurgence of systematic discrimination and the
prevalence of expressions of hate speech targeting persons belonging to national, ethnic,
racial or religious groups, especially if they are uttered in the context of an actual or
potential outbreak of violence;
