From the BBC; bolding is mine:
According to the 1948 Geneva Convention, genocide is defined as "acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group".
The Dutch court said it considered "legally and convincingly proven that the Kurdish population meets requirement under Genocide Conventions as an ethnic group".
"The court has no other conclusion than that these attacks were committed with the intent to destroy the Kurdish population of Iraq," the ruling said.
It's interesting to note that The Hague and these other international courts operate similarly to the UN and the Nobel committees -- bashing the US is on the agenda.
