2.      (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

3.      (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

4.      (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

5.      (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

The Convention confirms that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or war, is a crime under international law which parties to the Convention undertake “to prevent and to punish” (article 1).
