The​ #UN Genocide Convention of 1948 lists five acts that constitute #genocide when committed with the intent to destroy a group in whole or in part. The first two concern mass killing and serious bodily or mental harm...

The third prohibition ...forbids ‘deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction’. This refers to indirect forms of killing, those that don’t target human bodies but the environment that sustains them. Sufficient ‘conditions of life’ require buildings, hospitals, ...sewage and water systems, power grids, agriculture. The intentional destruction or degradation of such structures undermines a people’s ability to survive, leading to a slower and more tortuous form of annihilation.
