International Law and stance of Genocide and Crimes against humanity
"Although cases are still pending, the decisions passed down by the international criminal tribunals and the ICJ have helped to clarify the definition of the crime of genocide. As these legal institutions hear more cases, our understanding of the crime will develop. One of the key questions for future legal forums is whether the Convention can be used effectively not only to punish acts that have already taken place, but also to prevent crimes and protect groups." - ushmm.org
Our decisions and our choices will impact how humanity is shaped in the future. To pass these laws and make it official to have laws on Genocide and crime against humanity will ensure the safety and the protection of our human race.
History
These acts of Genocide, such as the Holocaust will forever be remembered in our history. The slaughter of humanity in our world is something that can’t be easily erased. Humans make mistakes but mistakes are different from decisions and not every decision can be fixed like mistakes can. Even though some decisions can’t be fixed we must learn to forgive and move on with our lives. Dragging the past along with all the incidents that occurred will not help us. Adolf Hitler made a horrible mess behind before committing suicide but we can’t blame the innocent Germans for what one individual had done. The lessons our generation and the future generation can learn from these past tragedies is that we need peace in our world. We need to live in a non-discriminatory world with respect, love and joy.
Response by other Nations
During the beginning of the Holocaust, many nations chose to not react to Hitler's reign of power. Britain and France decided that they would just give Hitler what he wanted, and then it would be fine. Hitler and the Nazis had managed to annex Austria and then Britain and France gave the Germans permission to occupy Sudetenland and all of Czechoslovakia. Many other nations chose not to attack, such as the United States, during the beginning of the Nazi reign. When the Nazis had started to get serious and were capturing more and more Jews and other people, nations began to feel a threat. Other nations knew how strong Hitler and his army were, so other nations chose to fight. This started off WWII. The United States and European countries denied immigration of refuge Jews when they had gotten free, because of the massive amount of people there were. Also, the US had lots of power, but chose not to use their power--bombing of Auschwitz, where the US did not bomb Auschwitz despite having many other bomber aircraft bombing other nearby places.
