==Why does all this matter when it is not even occurring in our own country? == Genocide is an inhumane act that should not be practiced towards another country or in their own country. Knowing this, it is inhumane for us to lay back and watch the genocide happen. If we just let it happen, we are accomplices for not trying to stop the genocide. It would go against our morale if we let it happen. Also, if we don't stop it, genocide might seem like a justified act. If it is seen as a justified act, governments will use genocide in the future to gain their political means. This might spread to other countries and soon, some ethnicity and some religion would be totally wiped out. Yes, trade relationships and foreign relationships with that country would become a little bad after intervening with the genocide occurring in that country, but what is more important? Money or LIFE? Also if every country comes together to intervene the country experiencing genocide, it can't pass an embargo on every country that intervened. Soon the country experiencing genocide would soon be the one pleading for trade.

 How can we stop this?
A s civilians, it seems like there aren't much to do for us. That is not true. Look around and you will find diverse NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) that support many different causes. There are about 2,700 NGOs out there that are making achievements and progress. NGOs are non-profit organizations that are made up of voluntary civilians, and you can be a part of them. Since countries are reluctant to intervene due to state soverignty, NGOs can do their jobs and relieve the people suffering from genocide. Even though NGOs doesn't have as much as an affect to the government carrying out genocide, like the individual states, it helps the suffering people directly, which is more helpful than just talking about taking actions.
