Summary: | Although the crime of “cultural genocide” was eventually omitted from the 1948 United Nations’ Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the importance of cultural destruction in the broader genocidal process remains a topic of discussion and debate. “The exclusion of cultural genocide from the Genocide Convention has influenced more than just the place of cultural genocide in international law,” observes Jeffrey S. Bachman. “It also seems to have had significant influence over the field of genocide studies,” to the point where the exclusion of cultural genocide “has become hegemonic in law and genocide studies” (pp. 1–2). |
