Genocide: why we apply the term sparingly
b'
It is regarded as the worst of all crimes, but what constitutes genocide? How does it differ from crimes against humanity? How are the atrocities of 1970\\u2019s Cambodia different from 1990\\u2019s Rwanda? What about Myanmar, or Xinjiang in China? Why have so few people ever been convicted of genocide? And why do human rights groups themselves use the term so carefully? In this episode host Imogen Foulkes puts those questions to Paola Gaeta, Professor of International Law at Geneva\\u2019s Graduate Institute, Ken Roth, Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, and analyst Daniel Warner.
