Abstract

The research paper examines the topic of genocide and the need for effective legislation to prevent it. The paper provides a historical background on genocide and the various forms it has taken throughout history. It also discusses the existing international legal framework for preventing genocide and provides an analysis of its effectiveness. The paper argues that despite the legal framework, genocidal acts continue to occur in various parts of the world and that there is a need for more comprehensive and effective legislation to prevent such crimes. The research paper also provides recommendations for policymakers and the international community on how to strengthen existing legal frameworks and develop new legislation to prevent genocide. Overall, this research paper highlights the importance of addressing the issue of genocide and the need for effective legal mechanisms to prevent such atrocities.
