Before anyone assumes "ethnic cleansing" strategies like forced sterilization or migration don't count as genocide, I propose the definitions of genocide outlined in the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group
