The Chechen genocide[9] refers to the mass casualties carried out on the Chechen people during the various stages of the Russia–Chechnya conflict since the second half of the 18th to early 21st centuries.[10][11] The term has no legal effect,[12] although the European Parliament has recognized the 1944 forced deportation of Chechens, which killed an estimated 1/3-1/2 of the total Chechen population, as an act of genocide.[13] The Ukrainian Rada has also condemned Russia's genocide of the Chechen people.
