What is Genocide?

Abstract

The United States has committed and sponsored the crime of genocide in Iraq. Outlining the legal meaning of genocide and following Jean-Paul Sartre’s analysis of the nature of colonial war, this paper asserts that on the basis of patterns of purposive action a case for intentional genocide can and should be made under the provisions of the Genocide Convention. While the United States has destroyed the state of Iraq, contaminating its environment and creating conditions of mass societal trauma, including the killing of 2,500,000 over 17 years, it has failed and cannot succeed to destroy the nation of Iraq. Being the lynchpin of US attempts to pursue empire by military means, it is the duty of all who struggle for justice to oppose the US genocide wrought on Iraq, move to ensure the prosecution of all those responsible and complicit, and stand firm in solidarity with the Iraqi people and its legal and legitimate resistance.
