So, Learntogether, you disagree with the [[Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court|legal definition of genocide]]? It's not a 'watering down', it's a way of recognising, both legally and generally those who've been victims of attempts to destroy all members of their ethnic group, and haven't been seen as worth news or academic coverage - just because people don't get them doesn't mean that they haven't been victims. --[[User:JOwen|JOwen]]

I'm not sure where the proviso that genocide can only result from government policy came into play because that has nothing to do with the legal definition, nor is government policy or action listed as a requirement in any definition I've read. Not only was the [[Srebrenica massacre]] genocide, but this site categorizes it as such. To that end, I'm reinserting the entry, and removing the unusual definition that genocide can only occur by government decree. [[User:SSchultz|SSchultz]] 00:06, 13 December 2007 (EST)
