/* Lemkin, UN and genocide */ new section
I think there is an important addition to make to the page Genocide.

It should be emphasised that Lemkin breaks genocide into three types: physical, biological, and cultural. Yet when he presented his ideas and definition to the United Nations, cultural genocide – the largest of the three types – was left out of the new legal definition. Researcher Kristina Charleston argues that the reason was likely to be an “insidious one – leaving it in would implicate the major powers (ones drafting the law, no less) in the largest genocide in the history of mankind.” References: https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/iusbgrj/article/download/18104/24229
