No, it doesn't. Countries have no legal obligation to stop something happening outside their borders.
Imagine being so confident, yet incorrect.
You could have taken 2 minutes to look up "genocide convention" to find out that it's not the Geneva Convention.
You clearly don't know what you are talking about. The genocide convention (not the geneva convention) that the US signed legally obliges them to act regardless of where the genocide is happening. Your logic is ridiculous because it would mean that any country only has an obligation to stop genocide if it occurs within their own borders.
They do. But they ignore the genocide convention.
