Genocide

"Genocide is the large-scale, systematic killing of a particular group of people. In the context of international human rights, the intent is what distinguishes genocide from other acts of mass murder. Essentially, holocausts are carried out with the aim of wiping out a group of people because they are defined by certain attributes, such as race or religion.

The official definition of genocide is laid out in the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG). Aside from direct killings, the CPPCG states that the deliberate manipulation of living conditions to indirectly kill people, rape, sterilize, and even separate children from their parents all fall under the category of genocide."
