How is genocide a social injustice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Genocide is a social injustice because it involves the deliberate and systematic extermination of a particular ethnic, racial, or religious group. It is a severe violation of human rights, causing immense suffering, loss of life, and displacement of communities. Genocide denies individuals their right to exist, thrive, and be treated with dignity, making it a grave social injustice.

No, genocide is not morally acceptable. Genocide involves the intentional and systematic extermination of a particular ethnic, racial, or religious group. It violates the fundamental principles of human rights, dignity, and equality. The international community has condemned genocide and it is considered a crime under international law.

What were the actions of the international community during the Armenian genocide?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Turkey is an important ally of the U.S. and other Western nations, and so their governments have likewise been reluctant to condemn the long-ago killings. In March 2010, a U.S. Congressional panel at last voted to recognize the genocide.

Samuel Troten in TEACHING ABOUT GENEOCIDE wrote: "" The trauma is especially enduring because of the refusal of the perpetrator regime or its successors to acknowledge the crime and engage in acts of contrition and redemption.""

What killing methods were used in Rwandan genocide?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many Tutsi and those Hutu associated with them fought to save their lives. We know of their heroic resistance, usually armed only with sticks and stones, at such places as the hills of Bisesero, the swamps of Bugesera, and the church at Cyahinda, but we have no way of knowing about the countless small encounters where targeted people struggled to defend themselves and their families in their homes, on dusty paths, and in the fields of sorghum.

Some tens of thousands fled to neighboring countries and others hid within Rwanda, in the ceilings of houses, in holes in the ground, in the forest, in the swamps. Some bought their lives once, others paid repeatedly for their safety over a period of weeks, either with money or with sexual services.

Many Tutsi who are alive survived because of the action of Hutu, whether a single act of courage from a stranger or the delivery of food and protection over many weeks by friends or family members.

What is a summary of about rwandan genocide?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass murder of an estimated 800,000 people in the small East African nation of Rwanda. It happened over the course of approximately 100 days and started with the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana on April 6. It was the culmination of longstanding ethnic competition and tensions between the minority Tutsi, who had controlled power for centuries, and the majority Hutu peoples, who had come to power in the rebellion of 1959-1962 and overthrown the Tutsi monarchy.

Who were the victims and who were the attackers in the Rwanda Genocide?

Asked by Santanalee15

The genocide took place in the context of the Rwandan Civil War, an ongoing conflict beginning in 1990 between the Hutu-led government and the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), which was largely composed of Tutsi refugees whose families had fled to Uganda following earlier waves of Hutu violence against the Tutsi. Most of the dead were Tutsis and most of those who perpetrated the violence were Hutus. The genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport on 6 April 1994.

there was no 'genocide" in Kosovo

.The Kosovo conflict was a civil conflict between the Serbian Yugoslav army and the Rebel "Kosovo liberation army".The Kosovo province of Serbia was largely Albanian and had its autonomy revoked by Milosevic when the KLA started to operate in the area.

The total Civilian death toll according to the un to this day is about 3000.There was a mass exodus of Albanian civilians who were victims of Serb counter strikes but also by nato Bombings.In fact over 200 Albanina civilians were killed by nato Bombs.During the Kosovo war the figures were highly inflamated due to the need for Nato to move in.So they propped up the figures to around 10,000 then many officilas claiming that up to 150,000 civilians were being massacred.

todays research showes quit different outcomes,there effectivly were war crimes as ussual,commited by all sides in Kosovo,But there was no Genocide what so ever.

Why was there Genocide in Bosnia - Herzegovina?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"The Serbs wanted to clear the area of all non-Serbs. This is called ethnic cleaning."

.The Bosnian war was a religeous and political civil war between 3 Yugoslav factions,The orthodox Christian Serbs,The Catholic Croats and the Muslim Bosniaks.All three sides committed atrocities but non of them in a collective sense was genocide,that was a largely western neo liberal fabricationEthnic cleansing is another thing which is not to kill the nation you are targeting but to cleanse the area.The number of civilian deaths were with out a doubt largely Bosniak,But the Serbs at 40 percent made up the largest numbr of refugees.

.There were numerous crimes committed by all sides,Examples are:

The Serbs for example killed up to 7000 or 8000 thousand civilians in Srebrenica and had camps like Omarska not to mentions expelling many Bosniaks from cities like Banja Luka and Pale,as a result they are today overwhelmingly Serb. other massacres like Foca and crimes were commited by paramilitary groups.

The Bosniaks drove Serbs and Croats in large numbers e.g 10,000 Serbs driven out of Bihac in a single offensive and up to 1000's killed by Bosniak mujahideen in eastern herzegovina,in villages like Kravica,There were also camps like Konjic,celibici and Heliodom and for Serbs and croats.

The Croats had camps like Dretelj which included largely serbian occupants.Military offensives in Mostar drove many Bosniaks out (and vice Versa).Croatian artillary leveled cities like Mostar,Massacres include the killing of Bosniaks in Lasva and the massacres of Serbs in western Bosnia following croatian raids in towns like Mrkonjic grad.

While there was ethic hatred and such motivated killings on all sides,There was by no means a planned genocide by any faction.The conflict in Bosnia and indeed in the entire Yugoslav region was essentially comparable to other civil wars like in Lebanon.
