Genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.[1]

After the abuses of World War II, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Genocide Convention on 9 December 1948 by Resolution 260A (III).[2] The Convention defines genocide and makes it a crime.

Article II of the Convention defines genocide as:

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.[2]
