The Threat of Nuclear Bombing and Incitement to Genocide

Abstract

Since the war in Gaza began, there has been a growing chorus calling for using nuclear weapons. This raises the question: Should those individuals calling for the use of nuclear weapons in Gaza be prosecuted for violating the statute of incitement to genocide under Article III of the Genocide Convention of 1948 or are these statements simply a case of free speech? Are these individuals advocating for nuclear war or inciting? Is calling for the use of nuclear weapons, the same as calling for genocide? This article will attempt to answer these questions focusing on the relationship between nuclear weapons and incitement to genocide.
