Crime of Genocide (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. (5)

Incitement to Genocide also had to be proven to be direct, by direct it means that both the speaker and the listener known that they are being persuaded to do something.
