<h3>What is Genocide?</h3>
Genocide is the deliberate killing of an entire or a portion of a population, which is typically referred to as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group. Raphael Lemkin created the phrase in 1944 by fusing the Latin suffix with the Greek root.
Genocide is any of five "acts committed with purpose to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, as such," according to the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention.
These five behaviors included: forcibly removing children from the group, killing group members, seriously harming them physically or mentally, imposing living conditions designed to dismantle the group, and preventing births.
Instead than being chosen at random, victims are chosen because of their actual or perceived participation in a group.
