The document discusses human rights and genocide. It defines genocide according to the UN Convention as acts committed with intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, including killing, harming, inflicting conditions to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children. Genocide occurs due to differences between groups that are exacerbated by governments and societies, leading to discrimination and violations of rights. This escalates violence toward the group. The UN tries to prevent genocide through equitable development, human rights promotion, and peacekeeping. When genocide occurs, the International Criminal Court investigates and prosecutes those responsible.
