The crime of genocide is happening. The intentional destruction of a people, in whole or in part, is genocide. The law is meant to be used to prevent it, not just review it after the fact.
We sent over half a million emails to key governments urging them to invoke the genocide convention at the International Court of Justice. South Africa did so, charging Israel with genocide. Nicaragua, Mexico, Libya, Colombia, and others formally filed declarations of intervention in support of the case. The court has ordered Israel to cease its genocidal acts, and the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has requested arrest warrants.
We sent over 200,000 emails urging governments to use United Nations General Assembly Resolution 377 (Uniting For Peace) which allows the General Assembly to act when the Security Council fails. The General Assambly has now passed a resolution, but it does not go far enough.
