This Manual is intended to equip lawyers and human rights activists with a detailed understanding of key international crimes that are based on discriminatory intent. The Manual outlines the elements constituting the crimes of genocide, incitement to genocide, and persecution as a crime against humanity, and offers examples of evidence required to establish such cases, drawing on legal precedents from UN international criminal tribunals and the ICC. ​

This Manual was developed with funding from the Matrix Causes Fund as part of a series which also includes the Manual on Countering Identity-based violence.
