Genocide Convention (1948):
Adopted by the United Nations in 1948 after the Holocaust, the Genocide Convention obligates states to prevent and punish genocide wherever it occurs. The United States signed the treaty early but did not ratify it until 1988, reflecting decades of debate over sovereignty and domestic legal enforcement. It remains a cornerstone of modern international criminal and human rights law.
