    The current definition of Genocide is set out in Article II of the Genocide Convention:

    Genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
    (a) Killing members of the group;
    (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
    © 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.

    To constitute genocide, it also needs to be established that the victims are deliberately targeted — not randomly — because of their real or perceived membership of one of the four groups protected under the Convention. This means that the target of destruction must be the group, as such, or even a part of it, but not its members as individuals.

    Any source from anywhere could be propaganda. Here is your chance to debunk the BBC report if you want.

    You are confusing banning news production by foreigners with banning transmission of foreign news.

    BBC probably did make it difficult for Russian state news to access UK social media users after Russia invaded Ukraine for their “three day special operation” (obviously a lie from the start). They probably did not forbid access to the Russian journalists wanting to film in the UK.

    China probably forbids BBC news with their great internet firewall. I know they ban the Tiananmen Square massacre imagery.

    I don’t think UK forbids Chinese from filming in UK. China did not forbid BBC from filming in China either but they did try to forbid filming the detention centre.

    Again: how does China stop every single Uyghur adult from taking pics with their smartphone?

    Not “every single Uygur”, just the ones locked up. That is how detention works, even in the West.

    No, not according to the current definition. That is why Ireland is trying to change it. Words change all the time so it is possible.

    That would equate Gaza and Ukraine with the Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia, the nature and magnitude of which were very different. Perhaps they could create a new word for those?

    Yes a higher civilian death ratio in Gaza but the Ukraine military are not in civilian areas.

    Admittedly Russia actually targets civilians but it is with long range missiles and drones, most of which get intercepted.

    That article says Ireland is also trying to expand the definition of genocide to include Ukrainian deaths. I don’t know why it does not fit the definition currently; perhaps because Russia are not trying to wipe out the Ukrainian population? I dunno. Get back to us if you find out.
