Gerald and Maas began publishing the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide with primary supportive international treaties, in 1989, when it was out of print at the United Nations, and a year before the U.S. and Coalition began the invasion and destruction of Iraq (for the 1996 Canadian edition see: Common Rights & Expectations: primary international treaties protecting the rights of all people). These pages continue the concern for where humanity should draw the line to save groups of people vulnerable to those more powerful. Gerald and Maas is not: a registered NGO, part of a religious group, government funded, U.N. funded, corporate or academic funded, or part of the genocide industry.
