Genocide. You know they are attempting to commit genocide and you help out. That is being complicit.

There is an "Obligation to prevent genocide (Article I)" which, according to the ICJ, has an extraterritorial scope. See the Genocide Convention Fact Sheet here https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/documents/Genocide%20Convention-FactSheet-ENG.pdf
