", within the framework of criminal law,"
Explanatory Note :
In international law, "genocide" is a very narrow legal concept and denotes a clearly defined crime. According to the 1948 Genocide Convention, in order to incriminate a person with the crime of genocide, a competent court must ascertain that the crime has been committed exactly as defined in the Convention.
