Can you tell me anything about genocide?

Genocide is killing or causing serious harm to members of a national, ethnic or religious group. Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines it in more detail. \n\nIn the Rwandan genocide in 1994, two extremist Hutu militia groups killed over 900,000 members of the Tutsi as well as moderate Hutus. Unfortunately, neither the United Nations or other nations did anything to stop the massacre.\n\nIn 2004, Secretary of State Colin Powell claimed that Sudanese Government backed Arab militia had committed abuses that left 1.2 million black African Sudanese homeless. This was also known as the Darfur massacre.

14/09/06 Phnom Penh \n\nThe Cambodian Genocide of the 70's was a harrowing time for the Cambodian people and no doubt any other sentient beings with any inkling as to what was happening within Cambodian borders. \n\nTuol Sleng (http://www.tuolsleng.com/) codenamed S-21 was a school that Pol Pot turned into a prison. It now serves as a museum and is left very much how it was found with original cells left with beds, chains and objects of torture as the fleeing Khmer Rouge fled form the approaching Vietnamese army. Every one of the 17,000 people that passed through the prison had their photograph taken and recorded. Now hundreds and hundreds of these photographs of the innocent men, woman and children are displayed on huge boards in the old school classrooms. \n\nLooking closely at their faces, some appear slightly scared, some terrified, but most look blankly at the camera with seemingly no understanding of why they were there or what there fate would be. This was the regime that they had welcomed into the capital with open arms and cheering, promises of a much needed change of Government to end the fighting and civil war that had raged the country so \nAnother Nameless Victim\nlong. Little clue did they have on that day 17th April 1975, that the next 4 years were to be a time even worse and unparalleled in Cambodia's history as Pol Pot took the country back to his dream of Year Zero turning the entire country into a giant labour camp. \n\nAll people were ordered out into the country to work in fields. Banks and currency were destroyed and any people considered threatening were killed. This included all doctors, architects, engineers, any skilled workers which did not fit the communist ideal of a people of equals, all making up one single agricultural work force. \n\nThe ridiculous list of regulations is still displayed where it stood in the prison yard, and includes such rules as While getting lashes or electrification you must not cry at all \n\n15km SE of the city is the Choeung Ek Genocidal Centre, one of the over 400 Cambodian 'killing fields' where thousands of men, woman and children were beaten to death, often bludgeoned with sticks or children swung against trees in order to spare 'precious' bullets. Bodies were thrown into mass graves. The killing fields were all positioned near water as the Khmer \nPhotos show inmates of Tuol Sleng\nRouge had hoped that flooding would wipe away any traces of the bodies of their crimes but the killing fields just grew and grew way beyond the scale that they had originally considered. Many graves were washed away, but many more remain. Walking around the area there are pieces of clothing and bone pushing up through the ground which struggles to contain the enormity of the inhumane acts. \n\nWalking around in silence, it is impossible to ignore the constant question in your head asking how such inhumane behaviour is possible. And for someone of my age, the obvious difference between Cambodia and the Jewish Holocaust of the 2nd World War is the knowledge that I was actually alive on this planet, whilst these terrible things were happening. I had to stop and reflect upon Rwanda and other troubled parts of the earth where inhumane behavior has occurred, knowing that whilst we live comfortable lives there are those who are suffering. The day was difficult and sobering, as we knew it would be. \n\nIn one exhibition room in Tuol Sleng prison was a comments book, which had, as yet remained empty. I too left without comment. It seemed fitting \nNo words to say\nContemplating one of the exhibition roomsthat there were no words to say.

Hi\n\nI don't know how many words you are allowed for your homework but try to include the following examples.  By the way, the word genocide is itself a modern concept - it was created as a word by Lemkin in 1943.\n\nIn modern times, there are specific instances of genocide which spring to mind and these are well worth basing your essay on.\n\nThe foremost one is the Holocaust, the genocide of the Jews by the Nazis during World War II.  Another significant one is the Rwandan massacre of 1994.  A third is the Srebrenica massacre of 1995 during the Bosnian War. These are all genocides which have since been judged in the International Courts and so there is plenty to read on them.\n\nAs a start, take a look at this Wikipedia article:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide

Right now I'm reading this random small journal written by a disgusted American journalist who had been living in Turkey during the time of the Armenian genocide.  A first-hand objective account of what happened!\nSo I just want to plea- please please READ and LEARN about what happened!  So many hidden truths can be uncovered by someone who has a passion for learning.\n\nJudith Herman writes, "After every atrocity one can expect to hear the same predictable apologies: it never happened; the victim lies; the victim exaggerates; the victim brought it upon herself; and in any case it is time to forget the past and move on.  The more powerful the perpetrator, the greater is his prerogative to name and define reality, and the more completely his arguments prevail."\n\nLook at Jay Lifton's book, "The Nazi Doctors" -about the holocaust that includes factual information about the genocide.\nOr Bernard Lewis's "The Emergence of Modern Turkey"\nA petition called "Taking a Stand Against the Turkish Government's Denial of the Armenian Genocide and Scholarly Corruption in the Academy" was signed by over a hundred distinguished writers and scholars including Arthur Miller, William Styron and Raul Hilberg.\nAll these people ARE NOT even ARMENIAN.\nElie Wiesel himself said,\n"I've talked to the President of Turkey about this.  I said to him: 'Why can't you admit what you did to the Armenians?  It would help your society.  It would cleanse you of your guilt.  You would gain something in the eyes of the world."\nLook up Morgenthau.  None of these people are Armenian.  They are all respected educated objective people.\nAnd those online sites?  Who wrote them?\nPerhaps that's why books are so good.  They can give you facts, accounts, and validate them with good solid (not misconstrued) evidence.

Do not believe..\nIt is a lie.  How they would kill 2 million of Armenians if there were 300 000 or 200000 in Anadolu.\n\nTHERE IS NO ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. IT IS A LIE. DO NOT BELIEVE. \n\nWhat do you know about Karabakh aa?? It was in Azerbaijan then you got then by killing civil people.. Actually you are not human!! I recommend you to learn reality

I don't know, but we are all to be blamed for having close our eyes and shut our mouth while tousands were slaugters.\nI'm only 19 y.o. but I feel guilty for this anyway. Even the United Nations didn't act in order to stop the genocide. We ought never to forget what happened.

America has never stepped up to combat genocide, what makes you think that's going to change?

I've linked several articles below for your review. 1st - Ethnic cleansing, 2nd is an overview on Allied war crimes, 3rd a specific record of the details on the previous posters Katyn massacre. There were significant atrocities committed before (1932-33 era in the Ukraine) and after (Stalin's pogroms) the war and with most focus on the Nuremberg trials a lot of Allied crimes either went un-or-under reported. Best of luck in your research, hope this helps.

Genocide is killing a group.\n\nThe Shoah (Holocaust) was a specific genocide carried out under Law by the NAZI regime.\n\nThe Turks have never acknowleded their genocide against the Armenians.  The Germans and Austrians have apologized for their mega-murders of innocent men, women, and 1,500,000 children.\n\nBTW Japan has never apologized for their genocide against the Chinese.

Right on! My school just devoted an entire day to raising money for the Darfur genocide. We sold shirts saying stop the genocide-Darfur on them and we raised $2000 and we are trying to raise awareness about the genocide by organizing a rally for the Darfur genocide. It cannot be stoped unless people know about it

The genocide happened because Armenia supports the ethic Armenians in the area and their desire to separate from Azerbaijan people.  The Soviet army that attacked was made up of Armenians.

You may be referring to the Armenian genocide.  1915 -1917.  Reports estimate over 1 million Armenians were sentenced to labor camps and were killed or staved to death in the Ottoman empire.

I'm out here in Iraq and trust me... please trust me when i tell you that it's not all the same or to prevent genocide. Keep in mind that most if not all countries were forged by wars. Specially our great U.S. of A. Need less to say that I pray  everyday for myself and my brothers and sisters in arms because Sh!t is going to hit the fan once saddam is executed...Once more this is nothing like Hotel Rwanda, nothing all,

of course it became the way of earning money of armenian diaspora.they are provocateurs.and killing a lot of people(not civilians as i believe) is different from a genocide.and u must change your question it must be "genocide by words" ;)
