Journal Title: Юридичний науковий електронний журнал - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue
Abstract
The article highlights the Genesis of the term «genocide» and its restraint in international and national legal instruments, including the Convention of the United Nations on the prevention of the crime of genocide and punishment for it and the Law of Ukraine «On Holodomor of 1932–1933» and the Resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine «On recognition of the genocide of the Crimean Tatar people». In the article the crime of genocide is recognised as the most serious and violent international crime in the history of mankind. The purpose of this article is a study of some aspects of the genocide and its perpetration by the example of the Ukrainian state. So, a shining example of genocide was the Holodomor of 1932–1933 which killed millions of Ukrainians. The Holodomor was recognized as genocide not only by Ukraine, but also by the United Nations and dozens of other foreign countries, including Australia, Canada, United States of America and others. The following example of genocide in the history of the Ukrainian people was the deportation of the Crimean Tatar population from the Crimea peninsula in 1944. Since 2004 MPs has proposed draft laws on the recognition of the deportation of the Crimean Tatars as genocide, but in 2015 the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the resolution in which our government has officially recognized this event as genocide. On the basis of these events, the legislator established in the Criminal code of Ukraine the responsibility for the commission of genocide, attributing the crime to a category especially serious.
