Yet, the Communists have more genocidal blood on their hands than Nazis ever had. To solidify their dictatorship in Russia, the Soviets exterminated millions. To prepare for postwar conquest and control of Poland, the Soviets committed the Katyn Forest massacres, which wiped out a substantial portion of the officer and leadership classes in fabricated and presented under the auspices of the By Uniteid Nations could do even more e harm to our constitutional Republic than the disarmament treaties which hamstring us in the realm of national long-rang- defense.

Mass political murders are standard practice in Commu- s; and the federal nist countries, but they are not punishable under the Genocide Constitution. It follows that when our government becomes a party to U.N. conventions and treaties, it illegally substitutes, for ourown Constitution, documents written by international Communists and socialists, tran- Convention. The Genocide Convention outlaws killing or causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group as such. It does not protect economic and sferring authority over the American people from their own governments to international political groups. governments do not murder agencies. people for national, ethnical, racial, or religious reasons but for what they call political and economic crimes. Hence, the murders are not genocide, as defined in the Genocide Convention. The upshot is that the U.N. treaty to outlaw genocide exempts Communist governments which actually do exterminate whole groups of people. Hence, it is easy to see why Communist commissions have written scores of conventions which would thus govern- ment in the United States. Of them all, the Genocide Con- vention is, perhaps, the most dangerous. The Genocide Convention was approved by the U.N. General Assembly on December 9, 1948. e trials It grew out of the of Nazi leaders following World War II. Ostensibly, these trials proved that Nazis had murdered millions of Jews in an effort to eradicate Jews as a racial and religious group.

This killing could be considered an international crime, as defined in Provision (a) of Article II of the Genocide Convention. Article IV of the Convention says that public officials can be prosecuted for genocide. Article III literature. 5 fr says that complicity in genocide is punishable. Consequently, every law enforcement official who had anything to do with the arrest and detention of the executed criminal; every person who gave information that helped police find and arrest the criminal; every witness against him; the judge and jury of the trial court that found him guilty; the prosecuting attorney and his assistants; all participating members of any appellate court that denied the criminal's appeal or affirmed his conviction; the state governor who signed the order of execution; persons who participated in the official act of execution all could be accused of the international crime of genocide.
