“…Any manifestation of genocide is based on labelling attitude, since the image of the enemy is constructed and specific qualities are attributed to this enemy that justify its annihilation (Hiebert, 2017: 13; Miguez Macho, 2012, 2013, 2017: 25; Nersessian, 2010: 50; Rafter, 2016: 44). An essential feature of genocide is the widespread practice of stigmatizing and dehumanizing a certain collective, which contributes to its persecution and extermination (Feierstein, 2014: 209; Hagan and Rymond-Richmond, 2008; Winton, 2011).…”

In this process, the victims are not only perceived as inferior and subhuman (Chalk and Jonassohn, 1990: 27–28; Chirot and McCauley, 2006: 84–85; Fournet, 2007; Gómez Bravo and Marco, 2011: 66; Miguez Macho, 2017: 75–76), but also as a group of people who represent a threat to the survival of the whole political system of a state (Hiebert, 2017: 141–143).…”

This article describes the characteristics and scale of Francoist repression in Spain and analyses the potential interpretation of the mass killings of people with leftist ideology as an act of genocide in accordance with the provisions of international law. Focus is placed on the difficulties associated with the inclusion of political groups in the category of genocide victims, and the possibility of a broader interpretation of this categorization is defended. Furthermore, the present study emphasizes the influence of the positivist trend on the configuration of Francoist criminal policy and provides evidence that allows Francoist repression to be considered as genocide in full accordance with international law.

“National group” is one of four victim groups that is explicitly protected by international criminal law from genocide. At the core of any genocide lies an element of identity. Yet, the fixed group categories that the law provides for seemingly do not conform to the fluidity of group identities. Is the law at all able to account for identity fault lines? By recourse to research on identity construction and otherness, this article argues that the interpretation of the law of genocide can benefit, structurally and legally, from insight into the forces at work before a genocide erupts. In recognizing the perpetrator’s definitional power over the victim group, the courts should increasingly focus their investigation into the mind of the génocidaires and their perception of the national victim group. In addition to discussing the dynamics of intergroup conflicts leading up to a genocide, this article also looks at the jurisprudence of criminal courts on the issues of nationality, national groups, and national identity for the crime of genocide.
