So you’re suggesting that invasions in order to prevent genocide work differently than all other interventions? You invade, say “Hello, we’re here to prevent genocide”, everyone makes peace, situation stabilizes and you can leave? Because ‘normal’ invasions (Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Haiti…) tend to result in a shitshow and don’t improve the situation much. Even UN’s own research say that those only ‘sometimes’ work and domestic cooperation and consent is the most important factor in success [1]. So basically if you have a recognized government that asks for help intervention may help. Throwing more troops in the middle of an ongoing civil war most likely won’t.

What exactly are you referring to?
Are you suggesting world nations intervened in Somalia to satisfy their obligations under the genocide conventions? Because that didn’t happen.
