New Genocide Law

GenocideMing Feng Schnorr     Tyler Frost
    In response to what the world has witnessed through the events in Rwanda and the mass killings of the Tutsi people. The United Nations was warned multiple times from different sources of the possible genocide. The members of the U.N. stood there and watched for months while about a million Rwandans were killed. Loopholes in the old Genocide Law, made the U.N. more reluctant in calling the events in Rwanda a genocide.
    When there are over 5,000 deaths based on a certain characteristic then that mass killing will be considered a genocide. The local UN force will be in charge of the death count. The local government has to report accounts of mass killings to the UN and let the U.N. forces report the the U.N. council. If the local government fail to report the killings but an outside source reports mass killings then it will still count. Every country that is part of the U.N. must have at least 1,000 men ready to fight for the U.N.. Those men must be trained to counteract regular warfare and guerrilla warfare. Once the set critique of the deaths has been reached a set number of countries will be forced to intervene and send their troops. The objective for these troops is the protect the targeted population and counteract the opposing force. Along with troops, countries will be required to send out heavy defensive and offensive machinery. The troops will secure a region in the country, declared a safe haven for any victims.
