We have an obligation to act, we meaning all states who are signatories to the 1948 Genocide Convention. A *duty to prevent* genocide arises as soon as a state learns, or should normally have learned, of a serious risk that genocide may be committed. www.hrw.org/the-day-in-h...

Everything’s so clear when it’s described in history books – war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide…  \n\nIt’s not that these things aren’t clear at the time exactly. In fact, in recent decades, they have often been well-documented in excruciating detail more or less as they happen. \n\nYet, somehow, when these things are unfolding in real time, some folks seem unable – maybe, more often, unwilling – to accept the evidence of their eyes and ears. Various considerations distract international leaders in particular: prejudices, alliances, politics...  \n\nThere can never be any justification for the worst kinds of crimes known to humanity, but that doesn’t keep leaders from trying to offer some.",
