Samantha Power in her book “A Problem From Hell,” holds Lemkin’s Law (click here) as the basis for prosecution of genocide. Most notable Raphael Lemkin was an advisor to the United States Supreme Court in regard to genocide.
Raphael Lemkin (click here) single handedly built an understanding of the moral concept of genocide. It wasn’t until WW II did his work take on deep meaning.
The point is, the world came together to create moral international law that prohibited genocide. That global belief banned the use of genocide as a war tactic and a means to take land. Civilized discourse would not provide for hatred between nations of people. Most terrified of any such dialogue were and are the Germans as their politics have not allowed such an idea.
As peoples sharing a single planet we must spurn any and all ideas of allowing genocidal ideation and the weapons that empower it. Hatred of each other must stop in all dialogues and be feared as it was when Raphael Lemkin coined the word genocide.
The world must return to peace and solve the problems of humanity living on Earth.
