The article presents the issue of the obligation to prevent the crime of genocide in reference o legal regulations and practice. The legal framework to analyse genocide is the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The document imposes very specific responsibilities on the contracting parties – to prevent and punish the crime of genocide. However, the regulations lack precision and clarity. For instance, it has not been clarified what “preventing genocide” entails. No measures, methods or actions have been enumerated that could serve as means to prevent genocide. The unclear and unprecise regulations leave the parties a lot of space for interpretation, in a way legitimizing “not taking action”. The signatories shy away from the obligation to prevent the crime or intervene only if their particular interest is at stake. The events in Rwanda, Bosnia or Darfur are the shameful exemplifications of this fact.

The article presents the records collected by the Darfur Atrocities Documentation Team (ADT), which have proved the occurrence of genocide in Darfur. It describes the discussion of the academic community and often conflicting political positions on the issue. The author attempted to analyse the results of the work of the International Commission of Inquiry on Darfur (ICID), appointed at the request of the United States by the UN Security Council, which examined the numerous violations of the international law in the province, but did not express an opinion whether or not genocide had taken place in Darfur. He has confronted the collected evidence of crimes committed in Darfur with the “Convention on the prevention and punishment of genocide”, which obliges the international community to intervene when genocide is proved to be happening. The conflict in Darfur has been presented as an example of the ineffectiveness of the response of the international community to genocide. Therefore, an analysis was carried out on the means of effective prevention of genocide, which can be used in future prevention of crimes in other regions of the world.
