In all fairness, this declaration against genocide seems to be too focused. Genocide is widespread, and in some cases is ongoing right now. Not to mention them is an insult. As well there should be a mention of ethnic cleansing.

For reference I posted the resolution in post 9. Though it is focused on Islamic genocide, personally I don't see that as a bar to endorsing it. Obviously genocide is and has been ongoing, the Arab world was far more successful in their destruction of millenia long Jewish culture throughout the Arab world than Hitler in Europe, yet no one has said a peep. Other than Tibet, no current cases of non-Islamic genocide come to mind. As to slavery, other than the Islamic world, that is a historical issue.

There is the Hutu-Tutsi conflict, the Vietnamese-Laotian extermination of the Hmong and other mountain tribes, Uganda, Congo, Ethiopia-Eritrea, Equatorial Guinea, Togo, Botswana, Brazil, Nepal, Burma, Sri Lanka, China, Cambodia, and Abkhasia.

I tried to omit those countries where Muslims were either the perpetrators or victims of genocidal actions. Which was a bunch, granted.

The list also omits those genocidal actions of the last decade that are no longer in progress.
