Terms and Definitions
Genocide is a term used to describe the intentional, systematic destruction of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. The elimination of the targeted group can occur through killing, serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction, imposing measures to prevent births within the group or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
This term refers to the measure of the likelihood or probability that a genocide could occur in a particular region or country. This rate is evaluated based on various factors such as known historical precedents of genocide, the current political, economic, social, and cultural climate, ongoing conflicts, marginalisation of certain groups, and the adherence of the nation's government to human rights principles.
Preventive measures are strategies or actions implemented to decrease the risk of a particular event happening. When talking in the context of genocide, these measures could include diplomatic interventions, enforcing peace treaties, promoting dialogue between conflicting groups, addressing economic disparities and social inequalities that fuel conflict, and ensuring accountability for past violence.
Ethnic cleansing refers to the systematic forced removal or extermination of an ethnic, racial, and/or religious group from a specific geographical area with the intent of creating a region inhabited by people of a single ethnicity, religion, or race. Though often associated with genocide, the main difference lies in the intent - ethnic cleansing does not necessarily aim at the destruction of a group, but rather its expulsion.
Marginalization is a process of pushing a particular group or groups of people to the edge of society by limiting their access to resources and opportunities. This makes it harder for them to improve their social and economic status. In the context of genocide, marginalized groups are often most at risk.
Political instability refers to the propensity for regime or government change, political upheaval, or violence in society, or instability in its decisions. Political instability often contributes to an increased risk of genocide as it can lead to power vacuums, increased conflict, and the scapegoating or targeting of certain groups.
Human rights principles are guiding tenets outlining the treatment deemed acceptable and equitable for individuals or groups by society. They are often protected by laws and are based on values such as dignity, fairness, equality, respect and independence. In the context of genocide, adherence or lack thereof to human rights principles can impact the likelihood of its occurrence.
