ABSTRACT
More often than not in the recent past, a lack of political will has been deemed the major impediment to a state and/or the UN from taking measures to prevent or intervene in a situation that is seemingly heading towards or has already erupted in mass killing. To date, nothing has been generated that is likely to induce the UN or an individual nation to find the political will to intervene if it does not want to do so. It is an issue that begs for attention and innovation. It is the epitome of absurdity and utter stupidity for the UN, individual nations, or any other agency to wait to act until a situation can definitively be deemed a case of genocide or not. In various cases, the media, activists, and/ or governmental officials spent an inordinate amount of time in an attempt to ascertain whether a case of mass killing constituted genocide or not.
