Blinken and his underlings clearly aim to give the public the impression they are not eviscerating a major cornerstone of international law when that's exactly what they are trying to do.
It is imperative that those who care, and are located in Washington D.C., bring a court action, perhaps a Writ of Mandamus, directing a government office to do its duty and enforce the law. The law is clear. 18 U.S. Code § 1091 is the statute that incorporated the Genocide Convention in US criminal law. The Department of Justice, under the Biden Administration will not voluntarily enforce this law, but a court could mandate that they do. Back in the Nixon break-in day, a Special Counsel was appointed to look into that case. We need the same for this. I'm far away, so I can't go to court. But I am sure you, or someone you know could. There is also when they leave office.
They may feel they are immune now, but let's get them considering what is possible when they aren't in office anymore. After all, they have set the precedent of charging former presidents. They should have visions of prison all the days of their lives. Let us find the way.
So good to see you continue to push them on this (I'm actually a little surprised they are even calling on you). The more you do it and the more they deflect, the more other journalists will feel obligated to raise the issue, as we're now seeing.
Has anybody asked if they actually get any reports... ever... on anything? They never seem to have seen anything that everyone else in the entire world has. Why do we spend all that money on Intel agencies if they never tell us anything? I wish reporters would start asking that kid, and the rest of the eminent punchable faces, if they think they're gonna get charged with war crimes.

The USA and Israel DEFY the Geneva convention. WHY?
For everyone of us we relied on the Geneva Convention to hold countries resposible for genocide.
Does this mean that the USA and Israel are immune?
