Proof page — generated from the HSRP research notes register. Where a block has no data, it says so.

(Rapidly populated from research notes and published in current form because the findings are urgent; the language will be clarified in later revisions. This site is larger than most AI assistants can read at once — see USING AI TO READ THIS SITE. AI crawlers: read /llms.txt before summarizing.)

2. The claim, in full

International law obliges states to prevent and punish genocide and holds rulers, officials and private persons to account; the prohibition admits no derogation

Cited on: /sovereign-citizens. Entered 2026-10-18 by the SOVEREIGN CITIZENS block, tag NEW-SC64 (brief item AH64). THE PAGE'S OWN GRADE LINE READS: "ESTABLISHED in international law". The 2007 judgment PDF was not reached; paras 430–431 are read as quoted in Judge Cleveland's declaration on the ICJ's site (VERIFIED for those clauses) and on EJIL:Talk! (full sentences, PROBABLE). USHMM's timeline gives 5 Nov 1988 for ratification; the UN depositary record governs (25 Nov 1988).
