Genocide

Genocide is the intentional action to destroy a people—usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group—in whole or in part. A term coined by Raphael Lemkin in his 1944 book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe, the hybrid word geno-cide is a combination of the Greek word γένος (genos, ) and the Latin suffix -caedo ().The United Nations Genocide Convention, which was established in 1948, defines genocide as including the killing of its members, causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, deliberately imposing living conditions that seek to , preventing births, or forcibly transferring children out of the group to another group.

‘race, people’; ‘act of killing’; ‘acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such’; ‘bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part’;

Homicide

Homicide is an act of a human killing another person. A homicide requires only a volitional act that causes the death of another, and thus a homicide may result from accidental, reckless, or negligent acts even if there is no intent to cause harm.
