Which would be considered an act of genocide according to the UN’s definition?

Answer
A
losing citizenship
B
having to wear an armband for identification
C
being banned from public places
D
preventing members of a group from having children

Explanation

The UN definition of genocide includes acts intended to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. One listed act is imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group. Therefore, preventing members of a group from having children is an act of genocide; the other choices are discriminatory or persecutory acts but are not among the definition’s specified acts by themselves.
