Stupid question.

Re:

According to the Rome Statute, there are eleven types of crime that can be charged as a crime against humanity when "committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population": "murder; extermination; enslavement; deportation or forcible transfer of population; imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law; torture; rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity; persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity...; enforced disappearance...; the crime of apartheid; other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health."

Would this apply to the displacement by migration to the east of Ukraine? They never technically FORCED Ukrainians out, but they made the Ukrainians want to leave the area, and encouraged their people to flood in long before the war, so that inevitably the entire region was majority Russian. You can never prove it was INTENTIONAL, but proving intent is kinda sketchy given the standards of proof we couldn't technically prove the INTENT of the Nazi's at The Hague very well. So giving up on proving intent how would you go about arguing that the slow gradual displacement of Ukrainians by migration of Russian populations is genocide given that it clearly is? 2001:8003:2953:1900:50FD:2CD8:8930:2A5B (talk) 05:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Redundant section

edit

There's currently a section in starter that discusses the Rome Statute and the different qualifications of a war crime, but later in the article it has it's own section, is there a reason why this should remain in the starting section? MelonOrion (talk) 16:55, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, per WP:LEDE the lede should summarize the most important points. Sjö (talk) 19:27, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
War crimes are a separate legal category from crimes against humanity, so I'm not sure what you're talking about (t · c) buidhe 03:48, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I guess that the OP meant crime against humanity, that way their post makes sense. To expand on my point above, a lede section is supposed to be a summary and introduction to the article. It should give an overview and give the basics in a "nutshell". This means that having a paragraph in the lede and a longer section in the body of the article follows Wikipedia's manual of style.
