When you fly into some countries you have to fill out a form confirming that you haven’t committed genocide. A lot of people laugh at it without thinking about why the affirmation is there.

This is about setting a public position and expectation around contributions. If you want to violate it then so be it - maybe you’ll get away with it, but you are now violating the policy.

It also means that the country can summarily deport you for lying on an immigration form, even if you committed genocide where it’s legal and outside their jurisdiction.
