Summary/Abstract: The term genocide is often a subject of disagreements regarding its definition making its usage popular in common language. As such it is being used in a form much stronger than it is actually defined by the international law. Thus it became a subject of moral rather than legal condemnation: to characterise some action as genocidal it means to express one’s particularly strong moral condemnation and abhorrence of that act. In this article the author presents definitions of genocide as well as the Qur’anic view wherein the different levels of accountability for such acts are explicated. The article particularly stresses the topic of planning and executing the genocide committed over Bosniaks in Eastern Bosnia in 1995.
