Elements of Genocide: Collective Behaviour and Acting Crowd

During the Rwanda War of 1994, the Rwandan patriotic front (RPF) of the rebel invaded. Since most of the members are minorities of the Tutsi people, they are targeted and killed because they believe this will end all problems. (Maritz 5) In addition to inciting, other factors are essential for genocide. According to psychological and social factors of psychologist Ervin Staub, it plays an important role in genocide. (Staub 306) As mentioned earlier, agitators between individuals and their needs make them feel intimidated, not alone and in contact with people all over the world.

Genocide is an individual act acting on behalf of their group to act together on what they think is a different group. Then the heart of any massacre is the way you see yourself and they allow them to act collectively on behalf of their own group and others. In other words, the heart of every genocide is the identity. When attributing genocide to identity, I am not saying that this identity necessarily leads to genocide or other concepts related to genocide interpretation. But I propose that the concept of identity is extremely important for the interpretation of every genocide. In this paper we propose that genocide is seen from the perspective of identity and that genocide can be understood as a process consisting of four overlapping stages: dichotomy, inhumanization, destruction, and rejection. After preliminary comments on genocide and identity, we discuss these issues in turn.

The 1948 UN Convention on Prevention and Punishment of Genocide defined the massacres. In this case, the act constitutes a genocide, if the act is "to destroy populations, ethnic groups, ethnic groups or religious groups in whole or in part". Although this is a legally applicable definition of genocide, the term genocide is preceded by the 1948 treaty, and in part due to the practical difficulty of proof of "intent" this definition There are few scholars who are completely satisfied with. For decades, scholars have proposed a series of alternate definitions and arguments about the composition of "genocide". It often extends the list of groups included in the definition of the United Nations. (For an example of alternative definitions, see the attached document "Definition of genocide".)

The definition of genocide was found in Article 2 of the United Nations Conference on Genocide in 1948, where genocide is divided into five major areas. This is to make it easy to identify victims and perpetrators. It seems that this definition includes all the basic elements, but it is clear that this definition is very lacking in several respects. It makes sense for the United Nations to narrow the scope of genocide, but it is unacceptable not to want to extend their definition over the years. A very controversial issue is the elimination of victims of political genocide. The two case studies discussed include massacres and political mass killings
