The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of GENOCIDE 1948 defines 'genocide' (Article II) as acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part:

1. Article II Genocide Convention 1948: '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.' 2. Article III lists punishable acts: genocide, conspiracy, direct and public incitement, attempt, complicity. 3. The specific intent ('dolus specialis') is the distinguishing element. 4. Article IX gives the ICJ jurisdiction over disputes (used in Bosnia v Serbia, 2007; Gambia v Myanmar, 2020). 5. Hence option B is correct. _Source: UN Charter 1945 / Vienna Convention on Law of Treaties 1969 / Geneva Conventions 1949 / ICJ Statute / UDHR ICCPR ICESCR — Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide 1948, Article II_
