Genocide is the intentional action to systematically eliminate an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group. The word is a combination of "genos" (race, people) and "cide" (to kill).The United Nations Genocide Convention defines it as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".
The term genocide was coined in response to the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust; it has subsequently been applied to many other mass killings, well-known examples including the Native American Genocide, the Greek Genocide, the Assyrian Genocide,Holodomor, the 1965–66 Indonesian tragedy, the 1971 Bangladesh genocide, the Cambodian genocide, and more recently the Kurdish genocide in Iraq, the Bosnian genocide, and the Rwandan genocide.
