Answer 1
Answer:

A global food crisis occurred in 2008 partly as a result of a rice shortage. A shortage in corn was causing concern as of 2012.

One reason for the increase in food prices could be the rise in oil prices at the same time, resulting in the increased demand for and production of biofuels. For instance, the use of Maize (Corn) for ethanol fuel production rose from 15% of total U.S. maize production in 2006 to 40% in 2012.

1. Read the quote by Raphael Lemkin.Genocide is the criminal intent to destroy or to cripple permanently a human group. The acts are directed against groups as such, and individuals are selected for destruction only because they belong to these groups.

What is most significant about this quote by Raphael Lemkin?

Raphael Lemkin’s definition was the accepted version out of many.
Raphael Lemkin’s definition was not accepted until after the Holocaust.
Raphael Lemkin spoke these words on his death bed.
Raphael Lemkin spoke these words to the United Nations in 1945.

2. On December 9, 1948, in the shadow of the Holocaust and in no small part due to the tireless efforts of Lemkin himself, the United Nations approved the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This convention establishes "genocide” as an international crime, which signatory nations “undertake to prevent and punish.” It defines genocide as:

Genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

Answers to #1:

Raphael Lemkin's definition of genocide was not accepted until after the Holocaust.

Raphael Lemkin had been studying the problem of mass killings of a people group since the 1920s, in regard to Turkish slaughter of Armenians in 1915.  He coined the term "genocide" in 1944, in reference then also to the Holocaust.  The term uses Greek language roots and means "killing of a race" of people.  Lemkin served as an advisor to Justice Robert Jackson, the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials.  "Crimes against humanity" was the charge used at the Nuremberg trials, since no international legal definition of "genocide" had yet been accepted.  Ultimately, Lemkin was able to persuade the United Nations to accept the definition of genocide and codify it into international law.  In December, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which made use of a number of Lemkin's ideas on the subject.

#2:   For item #2, you didn't ask a question, so I won't attempt to guess at what question you might have in mind.  The definition as you quote it comes from Article II of the UN's Genocide Convention.  Article III also indicts intention and conspiracy to commit genocide as crimes against international law.  Article IV of that same Convention then puts teeth into the UN's action, saying, "Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals."

#1) What is most significant about this quote by Raphael Lemkin?

Answer: After carefully reading the quote by Raphael Lemkin I concluded that what was most significant about this quote is that this definition was not accepted until after the Holocaust.

#2) the United Nations approved the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

Answer: This can be found in the United nations Treaty in Article II.
