The dangerous dilution of genocide
Alan H. Kessel and Casey Babb, experts in international law and accountability, discuss the perilous dilution of the term 'genocide.' They argue that legal definitions must be rooted in intent, critiquing the Pili Commission for its lack of evidence. The pair highlight Israel's defensive operations post-October 7 attacks, cautioning against mislabeling actions. They express concern over the politicization of the Genocide Convention and advocate for accountability through Israeli courts rather than politicized international processes.
