Genocide recognition politics are efforts to have a certain event (re)interpreted as a "genocide" or officially designated as such.[1][2][3][4][5] Such efforts may occur regardless of whether the event meets the definition of genocide laid out in the 1948 Genocide Convention.[6]
In countries with settler colonial past, recognition of colonial genocides is difficult as the national past could be called into question.[7] Most genocides have been perpetrated by states.[8][9]
