“The United States never intervened to stop the genocide and in fact rarely even committed to condemning it as it occurred” (Power 3). Genocide is described as a deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group (Genocide 1). Put that way, millions or trillions of innocent lives were killed, including children, due to the act of genocide. America should intervene in foreign affairs, as in the case of genocide, because of the Genocide Convention. We have a strong military, and it is dangerously immoral. During the 20th century there have been seven cases of genocide, which together resulted in a total death toll of 19,600,000 victims, some of them from the country of Rwanda. “While 800,000 men, women, and children were killed in 100 days, the United States refused to even jam radio broadcasts crucial to coordinating the genocide” (Powers 6). In this case, "President Bill Clinton's administration knew that Rwanda had been engulfed in genocide in April 1994, but withheld the information to justify its inaction...senior officials privately used the word genocide within 16 days since the killings began, but they chose not to do so publicly because the president had already decided not to intervene” (Carroll 1). So, if so, what about the genocide convention, if their purpose was to cover up and condemn the murderers, who torture and destroy innocent victims, honestly for who they were and for their morals and values. There have been many situations in this case where we have seen these crimes continue and have done nothing but live our lives .What is the point of having a Security Council, a United Human Rights Council and a Genocide Convention when they do the opposite of their purpose? Consequently 8... half of the paper... its need.' Anyone who advocates any of these or any variation of them, based on their 'good intentions' is an immoral… facilitator of the REAL… road to hell” (Gaber 2). as America we cannot let genocide take over other countries. Everyone on this plant has the right to live, so who has the right to stand in the face of that? Your religion, your values, your morals, not matter, GENOCIDE IS IMMORAL, no matter how you say it. In conclusion, genocide has taken the lives of many innocent and under-resourced people. This has been done to both children and men and women; people could have done something wrong. The people who participated in this immoral act did it because they thought they had the right to do so. So it is a tragedy that many have had to face
