    The Geneva convention does not authorize arrests of individuals. That’s what the ICC is for, but the US does not recognize the ICC.

      The genocide convention require the countries to do all within their power to stop the genocide. What’s more impactful than arresting thr current genocide enabler

        No, it doesn’t. Countries have no legal obligation to stop something happening outside their borders.

          Imagine being so confident, yet incorrect.

          You could have taken 2 minutes to look up “genocide convention” to find out that it’s not the Geneva Convention.

          You clearly don’t know what you are talking about. The genocide convention (not the geneva convention) that the US signed legally obliges them to act regardless of where the genocide is happening. Your logic is ridiculous because it would mean that any country only has an obligation to stop genocide if it occurs within their own borders.
