What Is Genocide

Raphael Lemkin coined the term "genocide" in 1944 to describe the mass killing of people based on their ethnicity, nationality, race, or religion. He helped define genocide and lobby for it to be outlawed in the 1948 UN Convention. The Convention defined genocide as killing or harming people with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. It also made conspiracy, incitement, attempts, or complicity in genocide international crimes. Over 130 countries have since ratified the Convention, though debates continue over broadening what groups experience genocide.

The document describes a semantic decision support system called OPTIMUS that optimizes energy use in public buildings. OPTIMUS integrates data from various sources like weather forecasts, social media, occupancy sensors, energy prices and renewable energy production. It uses a semantic framework including an ontology to model this multidisciplinary data. Prediction models use historical data to forecast building behavior. Inference rules then suggest short-term action plans based on the predictions and real-time monitored data. The system interfaces display this information to support user decisions. It was tested in pilot cities to optimize actions like HVAC scheduling and electricity self-consumption or feeding to the grid.

13.1 Nixon’s America The conservative consensus that supported Falwell’s Moral Majority was not yet in place when Richard Nixon assumed the presidency in 1969. He campaigned against Johnson’s Great Society and the millions of dollars funneled into government programs. Although many Americans were disillusioned with the Vietnam War and concerned with urban unrest and the growing rights demands of various groups in society, Nixon won by a very small margin. Once in office, Nixon departed from his campaign rhetoric and advanced the liberal causes of his predecessor in important ways. Many of Nixon’s programs and actions angered conservatives in his own Republican Party. However, the Vietnam War was the most pressing concern he faced upon assuming office. Nixon and Vietnam Nixon pursued a peace settlement already begun during Johnson’s administration. American and North Vietnamese leaders met in Paris to discuss the possibility of ending the hostilities. Though the diplomatic talks had no direct impact on the war, they helped boost Nixon’s popularity at home. Nixon further increased his public approval with his policy of Vietnamization. This meant that the United States sought to limit its fighting on the ground by training South Vietnamese forces to wage their own war. The president had inherited a difficult situation, and he determined early in 1969 that there was little possibility of victory. He devised the Vietnamization strategy to ease the U.S. involvement before the almost inevitable collapse of South Vietnam. Nixon announced this policy directly to the American people in a televised address on November 3, 1969, saying: Good evening, my fellow Americans. Tonight I want to talk to you on a subject of deep concern to all Americans and to many people in all parts of the world—the war in Vietnam. I believe that one of the reasons for the deep division about Vietnam is that many Americans have lost confidence in what their Government has told them about our policy. (as cited in Vilade, 2012, p. 196) At that point 31,000 Americans had died in the war, and Nixon told the American people that there were just two courses of action. The first was immediate withdrawal. The second was to persist in “our search for peace” and “continued implementation of our plan for Vietnamization.” Nixon concluded by saying, “I have chosen this second course. It is not the easy way. It is the right way” (as cited in Gettleman, 1995, p. 444). Cambodia and Its Consequences Vietnamization did little to ease the conflict or the antiwar protests in the United States.
