Ambassador Mike Waltz(@USAmbUN):Yes. The definitions matter. The ICJ must not be allowed to lower the legal threshold for proving genocide so that weakened and false standard can later be weaponized against American and allied soldiers whenever they raise a finger against terrorists that hide behind civilians.

@tomdannenbaum This is not a good talking point, though it is making the rounds. @michaelgwaltz is not saying the ICJ should not conclude their was or was not a genocide in Burma - he is saying they shouldn't use the opportunity to smuggle in a downward definition of the crime.
