Abstract

The crime of genocide is one of the horrific crimes committed against humankind. It is defined under Article 6 of the Rome Statute of International Criminal Court. It is considered to be destruction of individuals belonging to particular nationality, ethnicity etc. Hence it requires a proper plan of execution and commitment of it requires 8 stages to commit the offence of genocide. This crime is considered to be at the epitome of destroying the mankind. There is requirement of stringent laws to be made against genocide and to punish the perpetrators and seek justice for the victims and for this purpose the 1948 Genocide Convention came into existence.
 
India had ratified it in the year 1959, but did not obligated to include it within its legal framework. The crime of genocide is always confused with the crime of mass killings. But there is a thin line difference between both the crimes as the former is related to destruction of a particular group belonging to a particular nationality, ethnicity but the latter is killing if individuals irrespective of whichever group they belong.
 
India has seen the history of mob violence and this incidents have raised questions on the loopholes which are there in the Indian legal framework. It’s high time that India make certain laws with regards to genocide in its legal framework and obey Article 253 of the Constitution of India.
