231. Only in international law. The Statute of Limitations on GENOCIDE in US Code is 5 years
That's the worst of the worst crimes. Also our criminal code on Genocide would not have prevented the holocaust. There is an exemption to the Charge of Genocide if the people involved are acting in the course of the law. The Holocaust was the culmination of Germany's Nuremberg Laws. So our law against Genocide would have been useless in preventing or punishing Genocide in the holocaust. 99.9% of the time Genocide is done as a matter of law.
