WHAT IS GENOCIDE? • Genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political or cultural group.
Lemkin developed the term partly in response to the Nazi policies of systematic murder of Jewish people during the Holocaust, but also in response to previous instances in history of targeted actions aimed at the destruction of particular groups of people. • The word “genocide” was first coined by Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin in 1944 in his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. • It consists of the Greek prefix genos, meaning race or tribe, and the Latin suffix cide, meaning killing.
Genocide was firstly recognised as a crime under international law in 1946 by the United Nations General Assembly. • It was codified as an independent crime in the 1948 Convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of Genocide (the Genocide Convention). Article II of the Genocide Convention contains a narrow definition of the crime of genocide, which includes two main elements: 1. A mental element: the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such”, and 2. A physical element, which includes five acts.
