McManus Belmont, Massachusetts Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Our nations representative signed it immediately, but the United States has never been bound by its provisions because the Senate has refused to ratify it. There are good reasons for that refusal, which is now being reconsidered. Real Meaning of Genocide Normally defined, genocide means the extermination of a race. Certainly, no civilized individual favors genocide, yet public opposition to the proposal has been sufficient to convince enough Senators that the Convention should be blocked. The opposition has come from Americans who have read the text of the Convention. According to this UN Convention, the crime of genocide is the attempt to destroy, either in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. The document expressly prohibits killing members of the group or even causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group. Since every-- . one is a member of a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, any alleged harm to anyone even mental harm could invite a charge of genocide. And the hearings on any such charge would be conducted by an international tribunal. The specific danger attached to the Genocide Convention conies obvious when we learn that prevailing constitutional opinion, as handed down by the Supreme Court, holds that treaty law (such as the Genocide brought before international tribunals for prosecution. Before deciding that such a thing could never happen, please realize that as early as 1951 the Civil Rights Copamunist-fron- t Congress accused President Truman and numerous state and federal officials of genocide against American Negroes. In 1969 Black Panther attorney Charles Garry threatened to charge the United States with genocide for allegedly killing Panthers in police twenty-nin- e raids. And only a few years ago a n War Crimes Communist-ru- Tribunal based in Europe formally accused the United States of genocide. Had our Senate previously ratified the Con- vention, Americans, even including the President, could easily have been brought to trial on these charges. Carter Presses for Ratification Led today by President Carter, the leftist wing of the Senate is still pressing for U.S. ratification of this dangerous treaty. In 1974 the 55-3- 8 vote fell just short of the two-thirrequired for approval. Among those who voted for it then were ds Senators Kennedy, Jackson, McGovern, Javits, and Percy, and the present Vice President, Walter Mondale. Communist butchers have slaughtered millions in China, Tibet, Russia, Cambodia, and elsewhere. Yet all Communist nations have fully approved the Genocide Convention. They have no fear that it will ever be invoked against them, because its real purpose has nothing to do with the crime of genocide. The ' Genocide Convention, Convention) overrides domestic law. Therefore, any American charged with the crime of genocide would become subject to the like everything else associated jurisdiction of international law with the United Nations, is without any protection from the aimed at destroying individual U.S. Constitution and its Bill of freedom and national soverRights. eignty.
