why wouldn't it be a CRIME? YOU ARE hurting a person and of course that officially brings you to jail or in serious danger.

The Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Genocide is defined as the systematic destruction of a certain group of people. What happened in Tibet was a genocide. In order for it to be labled as a genocide it has to reach all eight stages of a genocide. Otherwise it can be labled as ethnic cleansing or a war crime. The eighth stage of a genocide is extermination, or killing.
It was an attempt by a government to eliminate a specific set of people.
The US has signed the Convention.
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.
The Rwandan genocide was not really a war, since the aim of this genocide and any genocide is to exterminate a certain group of people. In the Rwandan genocide the aim was to kill all the Tutsis. Fortunately not all the Tutsis were killed in this genocide, but hundreds of thousands were and Rwanda still has to bear the scar of what happened during that horrible time to this day, so nobody won the genocide, everybody just lost.
Because genocide is a horrendous crime against humanity and everything possible should be done to prevent it from ever taking place again.

Genocide really demoralizes a society. In most cases a whole generation is usually cut off. The people who suffer more are usually children and women.
Every nation, including the United States, should do whatever is possible to prevent genocide. Genocide is the greatest crime against our common humanity and as civilized people around the world, we must unite on this one question of the value of life.
