What is Genocidal Disability: Respecting the Dead and Rehabilitation the Living

Author(s) Ms. LAVANYA S

Abstract Genocide is ranked as the crime of crimes. After its identification by Prof. Raphael Lemkin genocide is an act of denial of human existence on earth. As though the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crime of Genocide, 1948 (Genocide Convention) aims to save the ‘protected group’ (national, racial, ethnic or religious), the actual victims are the human group itself. The introduction of the UN Tribunals (Yugoslavia and Rwanda) indeed contributed to understand the international criminology and penological traditions. Probably, in the truer sense, the decisions seen from the eyes of genocidal victims testified the worst forms of human victimisation. Agonisingly, in the physical world the state of absolute hopelessness for the genocidal victims. As the Chambers repeatedly affirmed in their factual and legal findings that the survivors had lost their all, the family, property, cultural traces, in systematic sexual violence, the spirit to live itself was absent so and so forth. All these pose the question: Is the term remedy any way relevant for the victims of genocide? With such state of desperate human affairs and almost remediless situation, the author aims to identify and promote certain remedies. To state, establishment of the truth about genocidal victims, remembrance of dead victims, and showing brotherly and sisterly affection to the survivors and working towards prevention of genocide are all prudential ways. In sum the concern is: The disability of the genocidal victim is the most composite. Only truthful efforts can heal their suffering. Methodology shall be analytical and multi-disciplinary.
Keywords Genocidal Disability, Disability, Rehabilitation, Dignity.
