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.

World is paying attention on November 5

Only a few days remain until the presidential election in the United States, the world's most powerful and influential country. There is intense excitement surrounding the event. All media outlets are reporting that a tough battle is shaping up. At this moment, both candidates and their campaign teams are diving into swing states—those states that could lean either way. To elaborate, the candidates are particularly focused on the states that helped Donald Trump win in 2016 but supported Joe Biden in 2020.

Biden Netanyahu Relations and Its impact in Gaza war

It is so complicated to describe the relations between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu. On 20 May, US President criticized the decision of ICC prosecutor to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, on war-crime charges while he was speaking at a Jews heritage event in the Rose Garden at the White House. “Let me be clear, we reject the ICC’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders,” Biden said. “There is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas,” Biden added. He also declared that the Isreal’s military action in Gaza is not genocide. Does it mean, however, that President Biden supporting Netanyahu and his coalition government? Not at all. President Biden is just following the US principle to safe and support the nation Israel at any cost she needed. On the other part of the coin, Biden threatened to withhold arms supplies if Israel entered Rafah in southern Gaza, what Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu clearly ignored.
