It’s written by John Pilger, not just any opinion writer but a top-class investigative journalist. Usually I have no time for opinion pieces but this is especially interesting for the fact it was written almost a decade ago. Also, John Pilger died four days ago so that was probably the main reason the piece was posted. It’s rather sad (telling?) that it was downvoted so much.

The only questions I am left with are: why did it take so long, and why haven’t more countries invoked the Conventions? As the article points out “States have an obligation to prevent genocide, not merely to punish it after it has occurred.”
