Question 21 • TX-World History Studies B-CR

Which is the UN definition of genocide?

Answer
A
Genocide is the attempt to wipe out an entire group of people based on ethnicity.
B
Genocide is the criminal intent to destroy or to cripple permanently a human group.
C
Genocide is the killing of a group of people based on race, religion, or ethnicity.
D
Genocide is the intentional destruction of a group of people.

Explanation

The UN definition describes genocide as acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. “The intentional destruction of a group of people” is the closest choice. The other choices are too narrow or describe only particular acts or outcomes, rather than the broader definition.
