It is incitement to commit genocide on TV say that the rioters are "rats to be exterminated"? It is genocide or not to implement it, as we are seeing in these hours? According to the UN to give meaning to the term genocide, yes, it is. It is not only "crimes against humanity," not just "violations of human rights," not merely "war crimes" (civilian, in this case).
For the UN genocide means the decision, planning and implementation of the elimination of an entire political, religious, ethnic or social. That's exactly what Gaddafi announced yesterday, and that's exactly what he has started doing since last night (actually even before, but only the numbers from yesterday are now dramatically showy).
There is an ongoing genocide, but we call him again, "crimes against humanity." The UN is asking for an investigation into why, for "crimes against humanity." It is not enough, not really. Remember Rwanda, in April 1994? We're seeing the same script. The UN, then, would not intervene. Was under pressure from France (an ally of the regime of iron that was putting in place a plan of extermination) and those of the United States, who did not want a repetition of what had happened just a year before in Somalia, when the U.S.
government - remains mired in Marsh Restore Hope - was found to be present at the death and the massacre of dozens of his soldiers. Thus, while being slaughtered one million Tutsis and moderate Hutus by the UN kept repeating like a broken record that they were massacres and crimes against humanity, carefully avoiding the word genocide.
He had to pronounce the Pope John Paul II, that word, more than a month after the start of the carnage. It was later calculated the estimation that, if the UN had declared immediately what was happening in Rwanda genocide, one could save one third of the victims, more than 300 000 lives.
In the years following Kofi Annan and Bill Clinton went to Kigali (the capital of Rwanda) to apologize for the omissions and for having turned away. Why do not you want to pronounce that word? Because in the case of genocide to the United Nations have a duty to intervene. To stop it. Here's why.
Today is going to Libya. How many deaths are still needed because it says very clearly that Gadhafi is implementing a genocide?
