Recognizing Genocides

Most acts of genocide are still not widely recognised, and the fact that they are not is purely political and does not reflect badly on the concept of genocide, and the lack of convictions for acts of genocide is the more problematic matter here. Instead what may need replacing is the function of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the ICC is tasked with prosecuting genocides, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, but the failure to prosecute lies with this court rather than the conceptualisation of these crimes. The ICC lacks the support, jurisdiction and cooperation to enable the court to prosecute, making investigations slow to the point of dysfunction, addressing these political and judicial issues would be much more beneficial than rehashing the term genocide. Do you think that the Genocide Concept need to be reviewed ?
