- aguaviva 2y agoThe parent comment to yours was apparently referring to "cultural genocide", which is apparently what you're nitpicking them on. Meanwhile we have the infinitely greater fact that the aggressor is most likely guilty on all 5 counts of the definition you do cite (point 4 may be somewhat debatable, but its culpability on the other counts is beyond dispute by this point): Article II 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: 1. Killing members of the group; 2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; 3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; 4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; 5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group See also: https://icj-cij.org/case/182 https://icj-cij.org/case/182
