Excerpt from the High Representative Moratinos’s statement on November 28, 2023

“We must exercise our diligence about how we use the term genocide because the term has frequently been misused of late in popular discourse. The legal definition of genocide is precise and the determination about whether or not genocide has occurred can only be made by competent international and/or national courts of law with the jurisdiction to try such cases following a rigorous investigation that meets appropriate international standards for due process.”
