1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,860
Article 6 Paragraph 3

2
00:00:02,860 --> 00:00:05,260
of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court

3
00:00:05,260 --> 00:00:09,080
consists of deliberately inflicting conditions of life

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,680
calculated to destroy the group in whole or in part

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,920
like the other punishable acts in article 6

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,100
paragraph 3 has to be read reference to the introductory part of

7
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:21,560
of the Chapeau

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,000
So that the deliberate infliction of the conditions

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
of life calculated to destroy the group in whole

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,520
or in part has to be read together with the words

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,200
any of the following acts committed with the intent

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,080
to destroy in whole or in part a national, ethnic

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,080
racial or religious group as such

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,220
and we can see that the language in paragraph 3

15
00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:46,760
in some ways duplicates and or repeats some of the

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,760
notions we find in the chapeau or the introductory paragraph

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,360
In particular we have the notion of calculating

18
00:00:54,380 --> 00:00:58,080
to destroy which has been interpreted by

19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,500
the courts as referring to physical destruction

20
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:09,340
The elements of crime which are the documents

21
00:01:09,340 --> 00:01:12,360
associated with the rome statute which amplifies

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,980
somewhat the definitions or provides some details

23
00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:19,950
about them say the term conditions of life may include but not

24
00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:23,600
necessarily restricted to deliberate deploration

25
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,660
of resources indispensable for survival such as

26
00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:31,600
food or medical services or systematic expulsion

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,600
from home

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,240
and this text is derived from one of the

29
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,240
earliest decisions on genocide of the

30
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,240
international criminal tribunal

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,550
The International Court of Justice has also

32
00:01:45,550 --> 00:01:47,550
interpreted the elements of the definition of

33
00:01:47,550 --> 00:01:48,570
the genocide drawn from the article 2 of Genocide convention
interpreted the elements of the definition of

34
00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:52,710
the genocide drawn from the article 2 of Genocide convention

35
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:53,060
in this case but it is the same text as the
the genocide drawn from the article 2 of Genocide convention

36
00:01:53,060 --> 00:01:54,400
in this case but it is the same text as the

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,400
article 6 of the rome statute

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,480
And let me quote from the international court of the justice

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,750
Paragraph 3, quote,

40
00:02:02,750 --> 00:02:06,750
"Covers methods of physical destruction other than killing

41
00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:10,930
whereby the perpetrator ultimately seeks the death of the

42
00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:14,170
members of the group. Such methods of destruction include

43
00:02:14,170 --> 00:02:18,710
notably, deprivation of food, medical care, shelter or clothing

44
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:23,280
as well as lack of hygiene, systematic expulsion from homes

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,400
or exhaustion as a result of excessive work

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,400
or physical exertion
