The Justice Council

Enforcing the Genocide Convention, case by case

Over 12 months the Justice Council builds a few lean bodies that act without the vetoed Security Council or the captured blocs. These are a compact of states that enforce the Genocide Convention themselves, a monitor that lists who supplies the perpetrators, a single zakat and endowment (waqf) trust, an independent scholars' council and a riba-free (interest-free) settlement facility that shields the states that act. It then lobbies the movable states, UN bodies, markets and mosques to give those bodies power. All five cases stay in the plan, on separate tracks: states join case by case, so that a state can act on Israel or on the RSF's suppliers without being made to act on Xinjiang or India. Those two cases run through import bans, courts and legal aid.

The five cases

States join case by case. Palestine, Sudan and Myanmar are annexes of the Compact; the Uyghur and India cases run on separate tracks, so acting on one is never the price of acting on another.

The bodies this site serves

Scholars' rulings

The Independent Scholars' Council publishes its joint rulings on the five cases in full, so that no state can withdraw them by leaning on one institution. The library also holds what recognised bodies have already ruled.

The plan behind this site

Twelve months to enforce the Genocide Convention where it still bites

Everything here comes from the Justice Council's twelve-month Genocide Plan. When the plan is rewritten, the Compact's, the Facility's and the Council's pages change with it.
