Good day, To you, readers with good intentions,

The current definition of genocide is based on the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention). It defines genocide as:

"Any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group, as such:"

1. Killing members of the group.
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.
3. Deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the group’s physical destruction in whole or in part.
4. Imposing measures to prevent births within the group.
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

A key aspect of genocide is specific intent to destroy the group as such, meaning because of their identity. States have a legal obligation to prevent and punish it under international law.
