Nothing wrong with that. It’s a good way to keep accountability and see where every country stands.
- I agree with you when you say that of accountability is important but this move doesn't stop the Genocide.
  
  No, it won't stop the genocide. Most likely nothing will. But all of these will be evidence in the future to label these countries as supporters of genocide. A stain that will never wash off.
  
  History books are written by the victors unfortunately.
  
  True. But every nation has its downfall. It's only a matter of time.
  
  It doesn't but it doesn't cause harm either.
  
  Of course , this is what the UN is there for. I believe we have to be vocal -literally and metaphorically- to stop this Genocide. For those who have access/work in bureaucracy they should do these actions. For the rest of us that do not, we should be on the streets etc
  
  It won't stop it, but we'll at least see who's on which side. Having a public record is good.
  
  It also doesn't further encourage it.
  Don't let perfect stand in the way of better.
