[00:00:00]What is genocide? There's one thing that your audience needs to remember. Number one, it's a crime. Number two, it's defined in law. It's a crime in law.

[00:00:07]Now, the key word in the definition in the legal definition it's the intent to destroy. Yes.

[00:00:16]>> Doesn't say anything about numbers.

[00:00:18]Doesn't say anything about Yeah, you don't consider it a genocide by how many people have been killed. It's the intent.

[00:00:25]The intent of the perpetrator. The definition says destroy.

[00:00:28]>> Yeah. Now, any one of five acts is genocide if the intent is to destroy.

[00:00:35]The first one's obvious, killing. The second one starts getting a bit vague, which is conditions harmful to life.

[00:00:43]Three, conditions to prevent life. Yes.

[00:00:47]Starvation, dehydration. Number four is very interesting. Prevention of births.

[00:00:53]And the fifth one is the most interesting for me and the one I focused most of my time on, the forced removal of children.
