Genocide involves violent crimes committed against a group with the intent to destroy that group. It includes killing, harming, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children. While institutions like early warning centers and programs for conflict transformation could help prevent genocide, currently there is no coordinated international effort. Establishing international bodies focused on early warning, non-violent intervention, rapid response forces, and criminal punishment may help reduce genocide in the future. However, preventing genocide ultimately requires political will from global leaders.
