Perhaps you mean, "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide."
According to the Convention, "Article 5
The Contracting Parties undertake to enact, in accordance with their respective Constitutions, the necessary legislation to give effect to the provisions of the present Convention and, in particular, to provide effective penalties for persons guilty of genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in Article 3."
According to the new Iraqi Constitution, genocide is to be punished by death. Which is what happened to Saddam.
And in regards to the comment about Bush, it was the USA for the first time in history, tried, convicted and executed a war criminal as a result of Andersonville Prison. And that gave rise to the expression. "Forgive but do not forget."

I believe you’re thinking of the Geneva convention, which sets out the terms for POW’s, and subjects of war, from my knowledge, there is no Genocide Convention, with the possible exception of a Hannibal Lecter fanclub.
