What specific discernible disparity exists between the reality of what is taking place on the ground in Sudan, and that which constitutes Genocide, as defined by Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (General Assembly Resolution 260 A (III) of 9 December 1948)? Article 2 In the present 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; (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. At what point does non-compliance, by the High Contracting Parties to the Convention, with the prevention provision within Article 1 constitute a de facto denunciation of the Convention? Article 1 The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace, or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish. www.pards.org politicalasylum1@hotmail.com
