        the motive for the crime (land expropriation, national security, territorrial 
        integrity, etc.), if the perpetrators commit acts intended to destroy 
        a group, even part of a group, it is genocide. The phrase "in whole or in part" is important. Perpetrators need not intend to destroy the entire group. Destruction 
        of only part of a group (such as its educated members, or members living 
        in one region) is also genocide. Most authorities require intent to destroy 
        a substantial number of group members – mass murder. But an individual 
        criminal may be guilty of genocide even if he kills only one person, so 
        long as he knew he was participating in a larger plan to destroy the group. Other Information: Kofi
