Genocide (W3)
Dt. "Genozid", frz. "génocide", engl. "Genocide" = dt. "Völkermord" ist eine Neubildung der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jh. und setzt sich zusammen aus griech. "génos, lat. "genus" = "Art", "Geburt", "Geschlecht", "Abstammung", "Gattung", (griech. "gígnesthai" = "geboren werden", "entstehen"), (lat. "gignere" = "erzeugen", "hervorbringen"), und lat. "cidere" = "töten".
"-cide" ist ein altfranzösischer Suffix, der auf lat. "cidium" = "Tötung" zurück geht. Die Wurzel "-cid-" geht weiter zurück auf lat. "caedere" = "hauen", "schlagen", "klopfen", "stoßen", "erschlagen", "töten", "morden".
Lat. "caedere" und die reduzierte Form "caed" findet man auch mit "s" statt mit "d" als "caesura" = dt. "Zäsur" = "Einschnitt", "Ruhepunkt", "Pause", engl. "incisor" = dt. "Schneidezahn", engl. "excise" = dt. "exzidieren", "herausschneiden", "entfernen" und damit auch die übertragene Bedeutung "besteuern", engl. "decision" = "Entscheidung" (die die Diskussion abschneidet) (In der Lehnübersetzung "entscheiden" steckt ebenfalls die Konnotation "Schnitt, "Schlag").

Genocide: What Is It?
In the present Convention, "genocide" means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
- (a) Killing members of the group;
- (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
- (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
- (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
- (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
—Article II, 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention
Prior to the twentieth century, the concept of "genocide" did not exist. The term was coined by the Polish jurist Raphäel Lemkin, who combined the Greek word "genos" ("race", "tribe") with the Latin root "cide" ("killing of"). Lemkin lobbied incessantly to get "genocide" recognized as a crime, attending numerous meetings and writing hundreds of letters in a variety of languages. His efforts ultimately helped lead the United Nations to pass a preliminary resolution (96-I) in 1946, stating that "genocide" occurs "when racial, religious, political and other groups have been destroyed, entirely or in part." It is crucial to note that this preliminary resolution included the destruction of "political and other groups" in its definition. Much of the subsequent U.N. debate over the legislation on "genocide" revolved around the question of whether political and social groups should be covered by the convention (Kuper 1981).7 A number of countries — particularly the Soviet Union, which, because of the atrocities it perpetrated against the kulaks and other "enemies of the people," feared accusations of "genocide" — argued that political groups should be excluded from the convention since they did not fit the etymology of "genocide", were mutable categories, and lacked the distinguishing characteristics necessary for definition. In the end, the clause on "political and other groups" was dropped from the final version of the 1948 "Genocide Convention" on the Prevention and Punishment of "Genocide", which dealt only with "national, ethnical, racial or religious groups."

In an attempt to prevent any future occurrence of atrocities like these, the United Nations developed the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide." Approved in December 1948 and entered into force in January 1951, the convention defines the term genocide as "the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group." To most of us, that a group of people could deliberately be singled out and systematically murdered is too gruesome to consider. But it has happened, and it may be happening right now.
