President of the International Association of Genocide, the largest and most important body in the study of genocide, Melanie O'Brien:
>"Applying the legal definitions of genocide as found in the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, I would determine that what is happening in Gaza constitutes genocide."
>Since early October 2023, Israeli leaders have made statements about destroying Gaza and starving its population - clear expressions of intent. Importantly, even if self-defence is invoked, that does not justify genocide. We also see intent through patterns of conduct, including indiscriminate bombings, mass casualties, the destruction of healthcare and essential infrastructure, and the denial of humanitarian aid, all of which can fall under crimes listed under the Genocide Convention."
>"The deliberate denial of water, food, medicine, shelter, and healthcare – all essential for life – points to genocidal intent. People are dying not only from bombings but also from starvation, malnutrition and untreated illnesses, particularly in overcrowded areas where disease spreads rapidly. Genocide is a process, not a single event."
