 INTRODUCTION
Unfortunately, history contains many instances of man’s inhumanity to man. Genocide is one such example. The United Nations defines genocide as a crime against humanity. It includes any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. Why does genocide happen? What can be done to prevent future genocides?
