FREDERICK, Maryland — The Frederick County Commissioners are scrapping plans for a waste-to-energy incinerator after more than five years of debate.
The Frederick News-Post (http://bit.ly/1BUrmNp ) reports that the board voted 3-2 Thursday night to cancel a contract with Wheelabrator Technologies Inc. for the $471 million project.
The board unanimously voted in favor of hauling the county's trash to an out-of-state landfill for up to five years.
The project suffered a blow in April when Carroll County pulled out of an agreement to jointly fund the project.
The incinerator had been planned for an industrial park south of Frederick near the Monocacy (mah-NAH'-kah-see) National Battlefield. Opponents, including the National Park Service, had argued it would pollute the air and water, and obstruct views from the Civil War site.

Product description
'The best reason to study Hellenistic art is for its own sake' writes Professor Pollitt in the Preface to Art in the Hellenistic Age. 'But', he continues, 'I would suggest that there is an additional quality that should make the art of the Hellenistic age of particular interest to modern audiences: the fact that in background and content it was the product of an age in many ways similar to our own ...The result of the historical conditions (of the age) was an art which, like much modern art, was heterogenous, often cosmopolitan, increasingly individualistic, and frequently elite in its appeal'. This 1986 book is an interpretative history of Greek art during the Hellenistic period - i.e. from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, to the establishment of the Roman Empire at the end of the first century BC - which also explores ways in which that art is an expression of the cultural experience and aspirations of the Hellenistic age.

Review quote
"...excellent overview of the art and temperament of the Hellenistic Age...The focus of this book is admirably wide-ranging...In the process of his skillful art historical analyses, Politt presents many astute and thought-provoking observations on and interpretations of the social history of this pivotal period in the development of western civilization."

It's a shame because we are missing out on a lot of traffic.

JFK fidgeted, but Richard Nixon sat perfectly still.
No, not in the historic televised presidential debate, but in sitting for their respective portraits, Kennedy's by Elaine de Kooning (wife of the more famous Willem) and Nixon's, appropriately enough by Norman Rockwell.
Both are shown in "Portraits of the Presidents: The National Portrait Gallery," a new coffee-table book that collects in its glossy pages images of all 44 U.S. presidents. Frederick Voss, formerly the Portrait Gallery's chief historian, mined the selection from its 1,600-plus presidential likenesses.
Published as part of Rizzoli's emporium of coffee-table books, the volume includes captions describing the circumstances surrounding the portraits plus historical accounts of the subjects' presidencies. One could have done with much more of the first and perhaps less of the second.
Easier said than done, Mr. Voss said. "Very often, not a whole lot is known about these situations," he told The Washington Times. "The portrait was painted, but we don't know much beyond that."
What is known, however, can be revealing. For example, Rockwell describes President Nixon as "the hardest man I ever painted" and tells how he handled the challenge that all portrait painters face: flattery or realism? Nixon, he says, was "almost good looking," so the artist decided to improve on nature and make the president good looking.
De Kooning recounts that Kennedy's restlessness made him elusive to capture on canvas. "His appearance altered radically and often during her seven sittings with the president" in late 1962, according to the caption. A tantalizing tidbit, one that raises and leaves unanswered nagging questions: How did his appearance alter? Did he put on weight? Or appear thinner? And over what period were the sittings? More intriguing still, could the portrait sittings have coincided with the Cuban missile crisis? That certainly would account for the restlessness.
In the end, de Kooning painted 23 versions of the portrait before she was happy with the result, shown in the book, and the work's singular combination of representational and abstract expressionist techniques captures the subject's kinetic energy.
The National Portrait Gallery adds a portrait of the departing president at the end of each presidency. Its collection is not to be confused with the collection of official portraits of presidents and first ladies in the White House, these days commissioned and paid for - with the help of private donors - by the White House Historical Association.
That practice wasn't started until 1961. Before that, things were more haphazard. It was often left to the president to decide on an official portrait. Harry S. Truman, for example, chose a painting by Viennese-born Greta Kempton. The book includes another Truman portrait by Kempton, who painted so many likenesses of the Truman family that she was known as the president's "court painter."
Before 1961, whether or not a president had his portrait painted generally was left to happenstance and (usually) rich friends. A couple of presidents didn't have their portraits painted until after they left office.
Monarchs historically sat for portraits so their subjects could know what they looked like. In a way, the same was true of the early American presidents, and the book includes the famous Landsdowne portrait of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart, recently purchased by the National Portrait Gallery.
By Abraham Lincoln's day, photography was sufficiently advanced for the president to pose for a photograph, shown in the book. His seated portrait was painted after his death by George P.A. Healy, who later produced another version for the White House. In the second version, Mr. Voss said, Healy put Lincoln in a gilded chair to make it more worthy of the White House.
Other notable inclusions are George H.W. Bush's almost full-length portrait by Ron Sherr, painted at the family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, but with a West Wing backdrop, and Chuck Close's enlarged ink-print head shot of President Clinton against a black background.
Also included is a portrait of Ronald Reagan with enormous shoulders, painted toward the end of his second term.
When Reagan saw it, he said, "Yep, that's the old Buckeroo."

Falling Skies Review: "Prisoner of War"by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
These aliens mean business.
Falling Skies delivered my favorite hour of the opening three via "Prisoner of War." Not only did it shed new light on Tom - his overwhelming guilt at accidentally abandoning Hal made even more sense when we learned how his wife died - but it gave us plenty of insight into those invading Skitters.
And they are clearly a lot more than just a violent bunch. These are vindictive creatures, the kind that think through their actions and, therefore, raise the most intriguing question of the show's early life: What is such a forward-thinking group forcing those kids to build?!?
John Pope is fitting in perfectly as comic relief, too. Falling Skies is an especially serious show. It hasn't felt dour because there's been so much going on, but it helps to have a somewhat lighter character around. You know, like an inmate-turned-hostage-taker-turned-proud-cook.
This was mostly Tom Mason's episode, though. Noah Wyle plays him as a father in control of his emotions, except when he truly can't help himself: when one son is harnessed, when another is almost taken, when he's confronted by the man who last saw his wife alive. It's a great, often subtle performance. And it will be interesting to see the lengths to which Tom will go, as events unfold, with his family on the line.
Speaking of which, I'm calling it now: Porter is Tom's father. There was something to the interaction between these two; plus, why else is Tom, a civilian, given such responsibilities?
Overall, an ideal follow-up to a solid premiere. Numerous questions remain: What is the connection between the Skitters and the harnessed children? What is the deal with Dr. Glass? What family members did she lose? Will we get any flashbacks to the invasion or even life prior to it?
I'm most definitely on board to learn these answers. Are you?

Pueblo rocks! Yeah it is too hot and too far from the mountains, but truly is a unquie small Colorado city deserving of more attention from the outside world. The hand-painted signs are one of many reasons why I periodically head over to Pueblo to experience an urban environment very different from either Colorado Springs or Denver. Do check out the drive-in theater before the summer's over.
20+ mins of commercials for a one hour block of show is way out of the norm. Able to FF when watching on demand or not, I wont patronize any station that goes that far beyond the normal ratio of show-vs-ads.
I wanted this show to be good, but unfortunately the writing is really, really weak. The dialogue is laughable. Too bad.
Well, my husband said last night that the show was starting to be boring :( Anyway, a few things: 1. Do we know how long this has been going on? Either I am having brain-freeze, or they haven't told us yet. The reason I ask is because Tom and the female Dr. are awful chummy to have just been thrown together, unless they were in crappy relationships before. 2. Everytime I see Will Patton, I think of Ox Knolls (sp?)from Ryan's Hope /sigh. I've just never gotten that character out of my head, after all these years LOL 3. Tom defeating that creature on his own, well, I had to do a double-take and play the scene again. It simply wasn't tenable. On the reality scale, it went to -3.
Writing is still bad. Script needs improvement although making the imprisoned leader of the "gang of renegades" a chef, who just needs some better quality items to cook and olive oil was hilarious. And I agree, too many commercials.
For Steveo, Jessy Schram who plays Karen is listed in 5 episodes of the 10 known episodes (though most the cast is only listed for 8 or 9 so far). We will see more of Karen, harnessed or not, I am with you and hope they get her back!
I am going to call it now, slightly different from Matt.. Porter is Tom's father-in-law his daughter was Tom's wife Rebecca that was discussed in the episode...
This episode was better than the first two, I agree. I'm not buying Will Patton's tough guy act. It's just too cheesy. Colin Cunningham is doing a good job, though. And Noah Wyle is always good. I can't wait for all of the mournful dialogues about what happened before we met these characters to be over, though, because they just make me gag. Even Noah can't do much with those. And the "Man Alone" stuff about going after to the two scouts in hackneyed drivel(and it was telling that Mason just abandoned his heroic derring-do as soon as he got his kid. Sorry other scout. Adios) You'd think Tom would know that his dad was about to retire, wouldn't you? Porter delivered the info as if Tom never knew about it. Porter sending Tom to go get his kid was a decision based on the Doc having a procedure he wanted to try, not because a Grandfather wanted to save his Grandkid. Nope. You're not right about the Father/Son thing.
I love Falling Skies but I have to watch alone. My husband and son are so upset that V and The Event were just dropped without an ending, thar they feel the same will happen to Falling Skies and they don't want to invest the time.
Enjoying the program very much, great story line, the aliens are SO evil.

Jonah Goldberg: Ted Cruz, the GOP's Obama
The charge that he's the new McCarthy is something of a compliment from liberals. It means they don't like him, can't really explain why and need to demonize him instead. In other words, he must be doing something right.
But think about it. Both men have impeccable educational credentials. Obama went to Occidental College, transferred to Columbia University and got his law degree from Harvard. Cruz went to Princeton University, where he was a national champion debater, and got a law degree from Harvard. Cruz's legal career was objectively more impressive than Obama's. He clerked on the appellate court and for Chief Justice William Rehnquist on the Supreme Court. He held numerous prestigious jobs in and out of government. Like Obama, he taught law, but Cruz was also the solicitor general of Texas and argued before the Supreme Court nine times.
Both landed in the U.S. Senate, running with larger ambitions in mind and promising to be unstinting champions of their party's principles. Moreover, both grasp that historically the Senate whittles away presidential timber. Like John F. Kennedy, Obama was there just long enough to run for President. And while Obama was there, his chief goal was burnishing his presidential image, not racking up legislative accomplishments. Cruz has been a senator for eight months, and he already looks like a presidential contender

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist tilt bridge spanning the River Tyne in England between Gateshead's Quays arts quarter on the south bank, and the Quayside of Newcastle upon Tyne on the north bank. The award-winning structure was conceived and designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre and structural engineers Gifford. The bridge is sometimes referred to as the 'Blinking Eye Bridge or the 'Winking Eye Bridge due to its shape and its tilting method. In terms of height, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is slightly shorter than the neighbouring Tyne Bridge, and stands as the sixteenth tallest structure in the city.

Some students were outraged, and my initial thought was that the comment was glib and offensive. Surely the best way to stop famine is to provide food, to donate money, or at least to end conflict or reduce corruption?
However, there is a case study which illustrates Wilber's meaning very clearly. It's the story of the 'meditating president', Joachim Chissano of Mozambique.

Get into the Christmas spirit in Cape TownIn case you're not yet feeling the Christmas spirit, here are some ways to get the festive feeling.
Your #lovecapetown weekend: What's on from Thursday 18 December to Sunday 21 December, 2014
Rob PetersAnother big weekend in the Mother City with some big dance events and plenty of market shopping on the agenda. Looking for something to do? Well look no further than this handy guide!
Tips to have a seamless summer in Cape Town
Rob PetersIf you're coming to Cape Town this summer and are not quite sure what to expect, we have a handy guide to help you enjoy your holiday without any snags, hitches or hiccups. From getting around the Mother City to predicting the weather, we want you to leave wanting to come back for more.
Life is 'Kwak' in the Mother City"We will need your left shoe please sir, we can't have you running off with our glass…" And with that begins my Kwak Beer Experience at Den Anker at the V&A Waterfront. The relinquishing of my left shoe dates back to a tradition which began in 19th Century Belgium. If I want to drink the beer, I need to forfeit my left shoe… for a time at least. The tradition started because the glasses were extremely expensive and difficult to replace at the time. It sparked a Belgian custom in which the barman kept the left shoe of patrons until the glass had been returned.

Line rushes: Ducks vs. SharksDecember 22nd, 2014, 12:31 pm by ERIC STEPHENS
ANAHEIM -- Here is the expected lineup that the Ducks (22-8-5) will start with against the San Jose Sharks on Monday night at Honda Center in the final game for both teams before the Christmas holiday break. Frederik Andersen (18-5-4, 2.41 GAA, .913 SV%) gets back in goal after getting a game off last Friday in Ottawa following 20 consecutive starts. Corey Perry (knee) and Francois Beauchemin (finger) will not play as the Ducks will take the cautious route and give the two key veterans five more days of rest before looking at their availability for Saturday's game at Arizona. Beauchemin is the closer of the two but will sit for the 13th straight time while Perry will miss his eighth consecutive contest. Hampus Lindholm (lower body) gets back in after sitting out the 6-2 defeat to Ottawa. Eric Brewer (foot) remains on crutches and Coach Bruce Boudreau said his status remains week to week. Matt Beleskey and Cam Fowler will both appear in their 300th NHL games tonight. Ryan Getzlaf remains red hot with six goals and 12 assists in his last 11 games.

Comments about Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8" 16GB Wi-Fi Tablet featuring Android 4.4 - White:
Love my new tablet, it's doing all I can ask it to. I use it primarily for church related things, so it's all good. I will however never use it to its full potential, too old and set in ways, not to mention It takes up a ton of time to really use all it offers. All in all it's better than the iPad, I think! Love it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Huge improvement over Tab 3.
By PoolHustler
from Jacksonville, Fl
I have been using this tablet for light gaming, video streaming and work. The picture is great. The performance is a major improvement over the previous version and I like how much thinner they made it. I only have one issue with it, but that's not an issue with Samsung but with Android, but it doesn't have an ntp client to keep the date and time updated. If your device dies, make sure to check the date and time or it may not work with secured sites or banking apps. It also, won't work with YouTube.
Great Tablet

I purchased my first Tab when the Galaxy was brand new. After several years of service it finally wore out. The only decision was which new Tab to get. I chose this one because I didn't need the extras the "S" offered. This has everything I need, while fitting in my handbag. Thanks for a great product#

I bought the satin nickel version for a small powder room. It does not have the distressed appearance of the copper version - but, I must admit, is closely represented by the product image - so no surprises there. Hopefully it will gain a bit of warm patina with use.

Poll shows majority support voter ID
A majority of Pennsylvanians are OK with the new state law requiring photo identification to vote.
Voters are highly aware that voter IDs are now required, overwhelmingly believe they have a valid ID and favor requiring one even if it means many eligible voters will be prevented from voting, according to a Franklin & Marshall College poll.
Most have no problem with requiring a photo ID to vote when photo IDs are required for so many other aspects of life, said G. Terry Madonna, Ph.D., the poll director.
"They support it mainly because they don't think it unreasonable to have a requirement," Dr. Madonna said. "I've been out speaking to a lot of groups and I talk a lot about this and that's anecdotally what I get."
Supporters say the law is necessary to prevent voter fraud even though they have been unable to cite instances of actual past voter fraud. Opponents say the IDs are unnecessary because voter fraud is not a major problem and the requirement was only passed by a Republican-dominated state government to discourage groups that support Democrats from voting, a charge Republicans deny.
About seven in eight voters (87 percent) answered "true" when asked if the state requires a photo ID to vote. Almost all voters (99 percent) said they have a valid photo ID. Nearly six in 10 (59 percent) favor requiring one and nearly half (46 percent) strongly favor it.
Of the people in favor, more than half (54 percent) say they would still favor the requirement even if many eligible voters would be prevented from voting because they will not have one.
Almost four in 10 (39 percent) strongly or somewhat oppose the requirement.
The poll of 632 registered voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
The Associated Press reported state officials are trying an 11th-hour change to salvage the law as a court is deciding whether anyone could be denied the right to vote.
Administration officials testified Tuesday that a newly streamlined process to get a voting-only photo ID card was finalized hours earlier in an effort to satisfy a week-old Supreme Court decision.

pip's forum posts
i think we all go through mutations right. all form of evolutonary adaptation are a result of mutated DNA. if peter parker had children would he pass on his abilities to them? we should ask an evolutionary biologist like richard dawkins who could do a guest video. that would be something I'd pay to see.
Dear Tom,
Given that your premise is "Since an early age, I've asked myself, 'Are superheroes logical?' "
there is nothing left to do but underline this 'Are superheroes logical ' . How on earth do you have a column? What you lack imagination and innovative speculation you more then make up for it with reduntant inane lines of questioning that show a remarkable vapidity for a connoisseur. To say nothing of your sub par writing style. In all sincerity we are worthy & deserve more as readers and we expect more from our writers. Tom they say the unexamed life is not worth living so i strongly urge you to put on a brave face and rethink yours. HUZZAH - pip!
did anyone else LOL at the cholos having a cholo car?
i hope Merle comes back with a chainsaw for a hand!
we all know the clergy are villains so why do they wear costumes
i think endings are the easy way out. how much narrative art has an ending; everything does, but comics. its a cool facet to the medium. to keep telling the stories so what if the character evolves and becomes a subject counter to what you as a normal everyday reader first enjoyed or identified with those comics take on a life of there own

/ Scottish winter without a vehicle
I'm based in Edinburgh, and looking to get out to do some easy winter routes, but lack a vehicle. Wondered if people had good recommendations of accessible routes/venues that could be reached by train and bike or bus? The arrochar alps are definitely an option, Aviemore and the ski bus, corrour and a fair walk, into the ben from fort william - just looking to tap the wealth of experience on here for ideas of how to make the best out of limited time and daylight!
SW highlands, get train to Bridge of Orchy and walk
Go to Ben Udlaidh if there is ice, if not go to Creag Coire an Dothaidh
Cairngorms are easily accessible by train and bus (train to Aviemore, bus to ski station) From there loads of different crags are available, depending on how much you enjoy walking.
Ben Nevis, get train to Fort William
Glencoe, you can get a megabus/citylink thing to Glencoe village (ask them and they will dump you anywhere on that road though)
While Scottish winter sans car is possible it is so much easier to drive/get a lift.
Hope that helps, good luck.
Options (and this is advice for a general audience as you probably have explored these already):
1. Join a climbing club and get lifts with folk in exchange for petrol money, belays and banter. Or try the lifts and partners forum here on UKC.
2. If you need to use public transport, going away for longer trips will make the most of the longer travel time - a couple of nights away will allow two decent days, rather than away and back in a day with only time for a short day on the hill.
The Ben Alder area is good for a weekend trip: train to Dalwhinnie, flat-ish cycle to the bothy. Long & Short Leachas and Alderwand on Ben Alder, Lancet Edge just across the way, lots of ice in the corrie behind that. If you like a nice long walk, you can go right through to Corrour station but getting a bike along there would be a pain in the backside once you're off the stalker's path.
Find some climbing partners with cars? Your options are quite limited without.
Er, Beinn Udlaidh is at least 5 miles down the road from Bridge of Orchy station.
Take a bike and hope the road is clear?
In addition to Ben Nevis, Glen Coe, Bridge of Orchy, Rannoch Station etc there are buses that pass through Arrochar, Aberfeldy, Crianlarich etc - in short there are loads of opportunities, and if you find other motivated climbers you should get a good range of opportunities to get out and about.
It's true, and for the first 14 years of my mountaineering life I shared their travails. Then I bought my first car and it became immeasurably easier - I'm probably a bit bigoted as a result.
Train to Tyndrum & Ben Lui central gully would work quite well. Again, bike useful on the approach.
I think this topic somes up every year, and there is always loads of advice, both good and bad. I've been in Edinburgh 4 years now with no car, and after a fair few mini epics (many without even getting to the hill I was aiming for) I can safely say that finding partners with cars is the best option.
I am a keen hitch hiker, but in the Highlands in winter its a bit of a tall ask. It also means that the 3 hour drive to the start of the walk in requires a day set aside, as does the return. It shouldn't take that long but sometimes it does.
Public transport always seems to get you close but not quite there, and again takes twice as long as a private car.
Joining a club might work, I've never really tried it. The best option I've found is making a plan with someone on UKC or at your local climbing wall! Sometimes you even become friends afterwards.
Without a private car, any Highlands winter trip becomes an adventure, which is really cool, but not good for getting much actual climbing done, and also very bad for getting back in time (and a fit state) for work on Monday.
I did the Aviemore train ski bus combo the other week. Main problem was that the 1st bus leaves quite late (like 7:30am) but overall works really well.
Many Thanks for all the advice, It seems like either getting a decent length trip is needed, or finding friendly folk with cars.
Keep your eyes peeled in the partners section ;)
Leave Edinburgh Waverley 1742h Friday night, arrive Aviemore 2025h. Go to Pub. Eat. Go to hostel. Sleep. Get first Bus up to Ski area 0730h be in a Northern Corrie by 0900h, complete at least two routes, get bus back down, go to pub, eat, sleep, get first bus up to Ski area 0730h be in a Northern Corrie by 0900h, complete at least two routes, get bus back down, get train at either 1710h or 1930h if you have an epic to be back in Edinburgh either 2030h or 2230h.
Similar adventures possible from Buchanan St Bus station to Arrochar, Glen Coe, Ben Nevis etc. Secret Bivvies in the Coe are a Bonus but not entirely essential!
Camping is great sometime, and if you camp away from the pub that gets round the warming temptation to go in all evening! I did most of trip to the Ben camping up towards the CIC, but if can be rough in harsh weather.
getting the same train in the morning/night, you can get to tyndrum lower station to do ben lui in a day, which i did last week. excellent day out.
more day hits are probably possible, just haven't tried them yet.
might be a good option? I'm pretty sure a couple of UKC'ers are members

Document - International Criminal Court: Fact sheet 3: Prosecuting the crime of genocide
AI Index: IOR 40/04/00
The International Criminal Court
Fact sheet 3
Prosecuting the crime of genocide
''[G]enocide constitutes the crime of crimes''.
Prosecutor v. Kambanda, Judgement and Sentence, Case No. ICTR 97-23-S (Trial Chamber 4 September 1998), para. 16
What is the origin of the term ''genocide''?
The crime of genocide was first defined by Rafael Lempkin in 1944 in his book, Axis Rule in Occupied Europe, based on a proposal he made a decade earlier. The word is a hybrid consisting of the Greek word ''genos'', meaning race, nation or tribe, and the Latin suffix, ''cide'', meaning killing. Although it was never expressly identified as a crime in the 1945 Nuremberg Charter, it was cited in the indictment and opening speeches as a crime against humanity in the trial of senior Nazis before the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg.
What is genocide?
It is any one of a number of acts aimed at the destruction of all or part of certain groups of people; it is this intent that distinguishes genocide from other crimes against humanity.
Article 6 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Statute) gives the International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction over genocide as defined in Article II of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention). That definition is considered part of international customary law, and, therefore, binding on allstates - whether they have ratified the Genocide Convention or not. The Statutes of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia use the same definition.
What acts of genocide will the ICC prosecute?
The following five prohibited acts - if committed with the intention to destroy all or part of a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such - may constitute genocide:
- Killing members of the group;
- Causing serious bodily or mental harm to the members of a group;
- Deliberately inflicting on a group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction;
- Imposing measures intended to prevent births within a group;
- Forcibly transferring children of a group to another group.
Cultural genocide (deliberate acts taken with the intent of preventing members of a group from using their language, practicing their religion or carrying out the group's cultural activities) does not fall within the definition of genocide as used in the Statute unless the acts were also one of the five prohibited acts and they were committed with the required intent. Similarly, ecocide (acts committed with the intention to disrupt or destroy the ecosystem in a particular area) by attacks upon the environment, has not been included in the definition, and would not constitute genocide unless the attacks involved one of the five prohibited acts with the necessary intent.
Can rape be an act of genocide?
In the 1998 landmark Akayesujudgment, a Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda held that when rape was used as a method to destroy a protected group by causing serious bodily or mental harm to the members of the group, it constituted genocide. In addition, it explained that rape also can be used as a way to prevent births within a group. For example, in societies where ethnicity is determined by the identity of the father, raping a victim to make her pregnant can prevent the victim from giving birth to a baby within her own group.
Are those who encourage others to commit genocide guilty of the crime?
Under Article 25 (3) (b) of the Statute, anyone who orders, solicits or induces someone to commit genocide (who carries it out or attempts to do) so is guilty of genocide. It is also a crime under the Article 23 (3) (e) if a person ''directly and publicly incites others to commit genocide''.
What about those who assist others in committing genocide or attempts to commit genocide?
Article 25 (3) (c) states that anyone who aids, abets or otherwise assists someone to commit genocide or attempt to commit it is guilty of genocide. Article 25 (3) (f) provides that a person who attempts to commit genocide is guilty of the crime. Although, in contrast to Article III of the Genocide Convention, conspiracy to commit genocide is not expressly defined as a crime under the Statute, Article 23 (3) (d) provides that much the same conduct is a crime.
Who can constitute a victim of genocide?
Any member of a national, ethnical, racial or religious group of people can be the victims of genocide. The term ''ethnical'' was intended to include linguistic and cultural groups.
The Statute does not include social or political groups within the definition of potential victims. However, many of the acts would fall within the Court's jurisdiction as crimes against humanity if committed against members of such groups on a widespread or systematic basis and pursuant to a state or organizational policy (see Fact Sheet No. 3).
Is destruction or intention to destroy an entire group or a substantial part of it required?
There is no such requirement. It is sufficient for the accused to have intended to destroy a large number of the group in a particular community, such as a town or village, because of the group's identity.
Who can be tried for genocide?
Anyone can be tried for genocide, no matter what the person's position. This means that not only a head of state or government minister who planned or ordered the act, but those who committed the act, whether ordinary foot soldiers or next door neighbours can be guilty of the crime. Article 33 (2) expressly provides that following a superior's orders is not a legitimate defence to genocide.
What is necessary to prove genocide?
As the intention to destroy all or part of a group, as such, is an essential element of the crime, it is crucial, and at the same time often very difficult, to find clear evidence of the motives and intentions that lie behind acts.
