It killed all the people who thought about committing it.
Every nation, including the United States, should do whatever is possible to prevent genocide. Genocide is the greatest crime against our common humanity and as civilized people around the world, we must unite on this one question of the value of life.
After World War II, the United Nations sought to prevent genocide by adopting the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in 1948, which defined genocide and established legal obligations for member states to prevent and punish this crime. The UN also created various mechanisms, such as peacekeeping missions and human rights monitoring, to address potential genocidal situations. Additionally, the establishment of the International Criminal Court in 2002 aimed to hold individuals accountable for genocide and other serious crimes against humanity.
Third World Genocide was created in 2003-08.
Typically, a genocide is "certified" by leading academics when a set of circumstances in the world qualifies under the definition of genocide.
Countries that have signed the UN definition of genocide are obligated to prevent and punish the crime of genocide, as outlined in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This includes enacting legislation to penalize acts of genocide, cooperating with international legal mechanisms, and taking action to prevent situations that could lead to genocide. Additionally, they are required to investigate and prosecute those accused of committing genocide within their jurisdiction.

To teach of the history of the world wars, the possibility of man's destructive capabilities and racial genocide, as well as to prevent further tradgedies from happening.
Sadly, at one time in history or another, genocide has occured in nearly every nation of the world.
Being the first Genocide in modern history and in the 20th century the Armenian Genocide represents a turning point in history. It was the first time since 146 BC, that the world witnessed a mass massacre planned to abolish a complete race. It didn't catch enough attention at that time and was pretty much forgotten until mass massacres such as the Holocaust and the massacres in Rwanda. So it is very important to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide in order to prevent barbarism against mankind.
The world largely dismissed the Rwandan genocide as 'tribal conflict' and didn't want to know about it till it was over.
