Responses

crimes against humanity
crimes against humanity

war crimes
war crimes

genocide
genocide

ethnic cleansing

Answer 1

The term that traditionally fails to meet the legal definition of a mass atrocity is "ethnic cleansing." While it is a serious violation of human rights and involves the forced removal or extermination of a particular ethnic group, it is not defined as a specific crime under international law like genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity. Ethnic cleansing is often associated with these other categories but does not have a standalone legal definition in the same way.
