GENOCIDE: THE WORST CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY

Abstract

Although the concept of genocide was introduced into science in the last century, this inhuman act has very ancient roots. In this article, the author reveals how and when this concept is used, against which peoples, how many people were killed, and proves with facts that the crime of genocide is not limited to Azerbaijan and other peoples. However, he did not change his attitude towards the values of multiculturalism in his mentality. The term genocide was first used by Lemkin in the early twentieth century, but genocide and terrorist acts are still being committed in the modern, renewed, humanized world. Not only because of their nationality, but also because of their race, political views and religious beliefs, people are subjected to violence. There are many international courts and courts around the world that deal with crimes related to this genocide. But so far only a few crimes have been considered. No criminal has yet received a worthy sentence. The article explains that this crime has not yet been properly assessed, and calls on the younger generation to constantly fight the tragedy of genocide.
