Preventing members of a group from having children.
The 1948 UN Genocide Convention (Article II) lists "imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group" as one of the acts that, when committed with intent to destroy a protected group in whole or in part, constitutes genocide. The other options (forced identification such as armbands, bans from public places, loss of citizenship) may be serious human-rights violations or crimes against humanity in some contexts, but they are not listed as acts of genocide unless accompanied by the requisite genocidal intent and other qualifying acts.
