ABSTRACT

According to the Genocide Convention (1948), genocide consists of an act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group by: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
