The consequence of our current system of national sovereignty and UN impotence is genocide.
Genocide develops in clear and predictable steps.
As already decreed in the Genocide Convention, nations are required to intervene when situations have been identified as genocidal. The mass killings that take place happen with extreme speed and determination. Thus, a rapid and robust force is the only hope to effectively intervene in these conflicts to stop the killing. The establishment of a powerful United Nations rapid response force is one of six tenets of the World Federalist Association's Campaign to End Genocide. Time and time again in situations of conflict, precious opportunities to intervene have been lost by the lapse of time from the decision to mandate a peacekeeping operation until the moment that a peacekeeping force was actually in operation.
