Why are the international conventions silent on genocide?
There is a long history of setting rules in human conflicts. However, before the modern era, no power had significant control over all countries, nor was there an alliance of allied nations to enforce or implement these desired rules. But by the mid-19th century, European countries began signing agreements among themselves, making it mandatory to follow international law. These European nations essentially agreed that based on these treaties, they had the authority to impose obligations on international law enforcement. In the middle of this century, these countries reached an agreement on maritime regulations, which became the first foundation of the laws of war. These laws gradually expanded during the 20th century, and some of them are still in force today. After the two world wars, the humanitarian aspects of these laws drew more attention, particularly in the context of eliminating human catastrophes and genocide.
