The Genocide characterization of Putin's Special Military Operation in Ukraine is getting some international traction ..... no surprise, not in France. The MSM picked up on what I posted a few days ago that the signtores of the Genocide Convention are prompted in the face of it to use political and humanitarian efforts to prevent it. The Convention goes on to state, through amendments subsequent to the Balkan wars, that failing political and humanitarian efforts to stop it, military force can be authorized. This is how air-strikes in Kosovo against the Serbs, carried out by US forces, were authorized.
The amendments specifically deal with the situation being experienced right now with a signtore to the Conventions, in this case Russia, might veto a necessary UNSC resolution to use force. The veto can be overridden by a simple majority in favor. IMO, because the UN is both infiltrated by leftists and weak, the chances of military force being authorized by the UN, through this convention and then an over-ride of a Russian and Chinese veto of a UNSC resolution to authorize force will never happen. Talk will continue. Action, other than what's underway in the form of sanctions and aid, won't.
