- Summary:
-
Almost all historians of the Aboriginal experience - black and white - avoid the word genocide. They write about pacifying, killing, cleansing, excluding, exterminating, starving, poisoning, shooting, beheading, sterilising, exiling, removing. The international legal definition of genocide, namely Article II (a) to (e) of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948 lists these elements: any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group - killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. This article examines the Australian experience.
