96 (I). The Crime of Genocide
Genocide is a denial of the right of existence of entire human groups, as
homicide is the denial of the right to live of individual human beings; such
denial of the right of existence shocks the conscience of mankind, results
in great losses to humanity in the form of cultural and other contributions
represented by these human groups, and is contrary to moral law and to the
spirit and aims of the United Nations.
Many instances of such crimes of genocide have occurred when racial,
religious, political and other groups have been destroyed, entirely or in
part.
The punishment of the crime of genocide is a matter of international
concern.
The General Assembly, therefore,
Affirms that genocide is a crime under international law which the
civilized world condemns, and for the commission of which principals and
accomplices - whether private individuals, public officials or statesmen,
and whether the crime is committed on religious, racial, political or any
other grounds - are punishable;
Invites the Member States to enact the necessary legislation for the
pereventions and punishment of this crime;
Recommends that international co-operation be organized between
States with a view to facilitating the speedy prevention and punishment of
the crime of genocide, and, to this end,
Requests the Economic and Social Council to undertake the necessary
studies, with a view to drawing up a draft convention on the crime of
genocide to be submitted to the next regular session of the General
Assembly.
