Genocide still o.k. in US

Washington (SWS)—The United States Senate refused last week for another year to ratify a 25-year-old international treaty outlawing genocide.

The defeat, which came when the Senate failed to get the two-thirds majority necessary to over-ride a filibuster and obtain further debating time, leaves the United States as one of the few countries in the world which is not legally obligated to refrain from genocidal activities.
