Question 9 • World History

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

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

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.
