Complicity in genocide

Complicity in genocide is illegal under international law, both for individuals (as part of international criminal law) and state parties to the Genocide Convention.[1][2] The latter was first held in the Bosnian genocide case (2007) in which the International Court of Justice (ICJ) held Serbia liable for her failure to prevent the Bosnian genocide.[1][2]
