The issue came up, what is the global law regarding genocide? The answer, I think, is that global law accepts or requires action against it. I say accepted tradition, if dictators began genocidal killing, they generally expect intervention and there is a global custom that intervention is accepted.
The issue came up in the Ron Paul libertarian foreign policy. I don't know what the libertarian tradition is formally, but my tradition tells me that when human custom begins to prevail on an issue, it is better to accommodate it with minimal cost.
Is it accept intervention or require it?
Hmmm...
