  During the drafting of the Genocide Convention in 1948, a critical and controversial decision was made to exclude political groups, thereby limiting the Convention to national, ethnic, racial and religious collectives. This book analyzes whether this legal dichotomy continues to make sense, drawing on a comprehensive analysis of state practice.
