DKos member aoeu had a good diary called "MARO: Mass Atrocity Response Operations."
It concerns a current U.S. Defense Department effort to address mass atrocity situations, which reportedly has been "implemented." The document was obtained in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Federation of American Scientists, according to that diary.
A 128-page PDF file of the report is available here from Harvard. The cover of the report identifies it as "A Collaborative Effort Between the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard Kennedy School and the US Army Peacekeeping and Stability
Operations Institute."
Why am I interested in this? On July 30th and 31st, I had a reclist diary that demonstrated why what Israel is doing in Gaza is indeed genocide.
My impression is that most people here casually (or hostilely) disregarded that claim when I started making it a few weeks ago, but now I think most Kossacks think it's true (or largely true). That's progress. Of course, there is small but vocal and slowly shrinking group of Israel supporters here that, so far at least, cannot be swayed by facts, reason, or law.
Below the fold I reproduce pages 95 and 96 of the MARO report (Annex A). I have bolded provisions of the international law that I believe Israel has violated. These include several different kinds of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and ethic cleansing.
