Answer
A
The agreement outlines the punishments enforced on the Nazis.
B
The agreement prohibits genocide during times of peace.
C
The agreement dictates that genocide is an international crime.
D
The agreement establishes the creation of an international prison.

Explanation

Article 1 states that genocide, whether committed during peace or war, is a crime under international law. Therefore, choice C, “The agreement dictates that genocide is an international crime,” best matches the excerpt. The passage also says the parties will prevent and punish genocide, but it does not specify punishments for the Nazis or establish an international prison.
