The Geneva convention does not authorize arrests of individuals. That's what the ICC is for, but the US does not recognize the ICC.

The genocide convention require the countries to do all within their power to stop the genocide. What's more impactful than arresting thr current genocide enabler

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.
