The jurisprudence on genocidal intent on the part of a state is more limited. The ICJ has
accepted that, in the absence of direct proof, specific intent may be established indirectly by
inference for purposes of state responsibility, and has adopted much of the reasoning of the
international tribunals.380 However, its rulings on inferring intent can be read extremely
narrowly, in a manner that would potentially preclude a state from having genocidal intent
alongside one or more additional motives or goals in relation to the conduct of its military
operations.
As outlined below, Amnesty International considers this an overly cramped
interpretation of international jurisprudence and one that would effectively preclude a finding
of genocide in the context of an armed conflict. The organization considers that the Genocide
Convention must be interpreted in a manner that ensures that genocide remains prohibited
in both peacetime and in war and that ICJ jurisprudence should not be read to effectively
preclude a finding of genocide during war.

You tell me, can Genocide happen in the middle of a war? Yes or no?
