Content: A better question might be: why is genocide not prevented? A memorial at Dachau Concentration Camp, with the words “Never Again” written in five languages. Forrest R. Whitesides, CC BY-SA 3.0. Genocide is organized murder. There are many conditions that leaders must exploit when they start killing civilians within the borders of their country. However, it is the indifference or collaboration of people in other countries that allows genocide to continue. Protection of national sovereignty has repeatedly trumped the lives of civilians. In most cases, the great powers of the world and the United Nations have either failed to act or acted to fail. Organized violence against groups of people is common to most places and time periods.
