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
1. Dehumanization: Groups that commit genocide often portray their victims as subhuman or inferior, which makes it easier to justify their mass killings.
