What common elements are seen when groups commit genocide? In 1–2 sentences, give at least two examples of common elements, and explain their connection to genocide as an atrocity crime.(2 points)
Two common elements seen in groups committing genocide are dehumanization of the targeted group and a sense of justification or moral superiority in carrying out the violence. Dehumanization allows perpetrators to view their victims as less than human, making it easier to justify their violent actions as necessary or even just. This sense of moral superiority can further justify the group's actions as necessary for the greater good, enabling them to commit atrocities with little remorse.
