23. The Court recalls that, pursuant to common Article 1 of the Geneva Conventions, all States parties are under an obligation "to respect and to ensure respect" for the Conventions "in all circumstances". It follows from that provision that every State party to these Conventions, "whether or not it is a party to a specific conflict, is under an obligation to ensure that the requirements of the instruments in question are complied with" [Advisory Opinion 2004]. Such an obligation "does not derive only from the Conventions themselves, but from the general principles of humanitarian law to which the Conventions merely give specific expression" [Advisory Opinion 1986]. With regard to the Genocide Convention, the Court has had the opportunity to observe that the obligation to prevent the commission of the crime of genocide, pursuant to Article I, requires States parties that are aware, or that should normally have been aware, of the serious risk that acts of genocide would have been committed, to employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent genocide so far as possible (Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide [Advisory Opinion 2007]. Further, States parties are bound by the Genocide Convention not to commit any other acts enumerated in Article III (ibid.[2007], p. 114, para. 168).

The following acts shall be punishable:
(a) Genocide;
(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;
(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;
(d) Attempt to commit genocide;
(e) Complicity in genocide.

It leaves unaffected the right of the Governments of Nicaragua and Germany to submit arguments in respect of those questions.
