Question 19 • World History CR

Which would be considered an act of genocide according to the UN’s definition?

Answer
A
being banned from public places
B
losing citizenship
C
preventing members of a group from having children
D
having to wear an armband for identification

Explanation

The UN definition of genocide includes acts intended to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. One listed act is imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group. Therefore, preventing members of a group from having children is an act of genocide; the other choices are discriminatory or persecutory acts but are not among the definition’s specified acts by themselves.
