In this study, Larry May examines the normative and conceptual
problems concerning the crime of genocide. Genocide arises out of
the worst of horrors. Legally, however, the unique character of
genocide is reduced to a technical requirement, that the
perpetrator s act manifest an intention to destroy a protected
group. From this definition, many puzzles arise. How are groups to
be identified and why are only four groups subject to genocide?
What is the harm of destroying a group and why is this harm thought
to be independent of killing many people? How can a person in the
dock, as an individual, be responsible for a collective crime like
genocide? How should we understand the specific crimes associated
with genocide, especially instigation, incitement, and complicity?
Are criminal trials in the aftermath of genocide the best strategy
for achieving reconciliation and the return to the rule of law?
Paying special attention to the recent case law concerning the
Rwanda genocide, May offers the first philosophical exploration of
the crime of genocide in international criminal law.
