UDK 341.485(100)"19"

The crime of genocide is officially named in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention) approved by the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) on December 9th 1948. Raphael Lemkin, the man who coined the term genocide, showed the concern for classifying and naming the worst form of war crimes even before the outbreak of the Second World War, not only during the time when the worst war crimes were committed in mid-twentieth century. It was particularly after the Holocaust that the crime of genocide was brought to the special focus of numerous scholars who began to elaborate on theories and themes in this field. In theoretical elaboration of the crime of genocide, one of the essential topics is typologization of the crime of genocide and, with a review of theoretical discussions; this happens to be the subject matter of the present article.
