The crime of genocide involves a widerange of actions, including not only thedeprivation of life but also the preventionof life (abortions, sterilizations) and alsodevices considerably endangering life andhealth (artificial infections, working to death inspecial camps, deliberate separation offamiliesfor depopulanon purposes and so forth).

All these actions are subordinated to thecriminal intent to destroy or to cripplepermanently a human group. The acts aredirected against groups as such, andindividuals are selected for destruction onlybecause they belong to these groups.

Raphael Lemkin

In the present Convention, genocide meansany of the following acts committed withintent to destroy, in whole or in part, anational, ethnical, racial or religious group, assuch:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm tomembers of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on on the group,condition of life calculated to bring about itsphysical destruction in whole or in part:

(d) Imposing measures intended to preventbirths within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of thegroup to another group.

Article III, The Convention on the Preventionand Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

The GenocideConvention does notprotect political and

socio-economic groups,though these groups

have also beenvictimized.

Indicators of Potential Genocide

* In the past 30 years, have acts of genocide beencommitted against a particular group? Werethose genocidal acts rewarded by the society?

* In the past 4 years, has the society's regime eitherbroken down or entrenched its power by violatinghuman rights on a large scale?

* Has a scapegoat-orientedpropaganda campaignbegun? Has a war or a rebellion started?

Some Conclusions

* OSINT should fill a gap, not an archive.* OSINT must be collected by analysts, not amateurs.* Doing the analysis is easy. The hard part is keeping

enough people doing it.* Effective early warning should warn us months or

even years in advance -- andprobably can.

* For atrocities prevention to last, the public mustshow its concern. This concern begins with yozu
