    It must include religious groups or it isn’t congruent and you could argue your way out of the charge of genocide against ethnoreligious groups like Yazidis or Jews and it would muddy the waters when discussing the ethnic cleansing of minority groups differentiated primarily from the majority by their religion.
    The problem with the argument here is not that genocide does not include actions intent to kill a religious group, but that this was not happening

      Article 6 is about genocide. Article 7 is about crimes against humanity, including ethnic cleansing:

      Article 7 (1) (d)

      Crime against humanity of deportation or forcible transfer of population

      Elements

      1. The perpetrator deported or forcibly transferred, without grounds permitted under international law, one or more persons to another State or location, by expulsion or other coercive acts.

      2. Such person or persons were lawfully present in the area from which they were so deported or transferred.

      The reason why religious groups is included in the definition of genocide is not because otherwise “it would muddy the waters when discussing the ethnic cleansing of minority groups differentiated primarily from the majority by their religion”.

      The only one who is muddying the waters here is the person who thinks they know international law well enough that they can provide commentary on it without being familiar with the international law they’re talking about.

      Why do you think they needed to add extra information in about religious groups to the definition of genocide when ethnic cleansing:

      a) Does not in itself meet the definition of genocide

      b) Has its own separate article to define what ethnic cleansing is?

      Looking forward to the insults in your next smuglord reply.

          What a courageous response!

          You can’t back up your position, you can’t argue a point, you clearly haven’t done the reading, and when you get called out for your bullshit in a way that’s completely incontrovertible you can’t even admit that you’re wrong.

          All you can do is attack people that you disagree with. You’re boring.
