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)

==[[Genocide]]==
This seems a fairly straightforward issue to me. I have seen no definition of genocide outside of this site's article that requires that genocide be carried out by a government. The UN has not defined genocide this way, and the State Department states explicitly that genocide occurred in Bosnia. [http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2868.htm] Based on these facts, I think the definition in the article should be corrected, and the Srebrenica massacre should be reinserted as an example of genocide.
