Duty to Prevent Terrorism and the Crime of Genocide
I was watching US Secretary of State Blinken JD (Columbia) [1988] stating that the world has a duty to prevent terrorism — most likely resulting from Chapter VII UNSC Resolutions on terrorism etc.
I find the statement rather SOPHOMORIC. I am very sure Ambassador Mo Sacirbey, Citizen of the USA and formerly Foreign Minister of Bosnia & Herzegovina who was the Agent or Co-Agent in Cases reported in ICJ Rep 1993 p3 and 325 will agree that Acts of Terrorism committed upon the Population of a UN Member-State, a party to the 1948 Genocide Convention by state-supported actors and/or non-state actors from a territory of an UN non-member state, had in accordance with Art. 2 of the said 1948 Convention had deliberately committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
The above are mere examples. OCHA of the UN has reported that more than 1,400 fatalities were caused by the Acts of Terrorism on the UN Member-State’s territory upon its population etc. This particularly goes against the Jus Cogens norm — the Prohibition Against Genocide. Thus, referring to ICJ Rep 1993 p3 and 325, NO Provisional Measures nor Measures could have been taken by the UN Non-Member-State to prevent the commission of the crime of Genocide on the UN member-State’s population. The UN OCHA has proven and reported that.
Thus, with all due respect, I do find Secretary Blinken’s rather short and imprecise statement at the UNSC meeting as Sophomoric. I would have stated that the World pursuant to binding Chapter VII UNSC Resolutions and the Jus Cogens Prohibition against Genocide emplaces A Duty to Prevent Terrorism and the Crime of Genocide. I am sure Ambassador Mo Sacirbey and the Yazidi community, Amal Clooney and Nadia Murad will agree verbatim.
