Article Details
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.
