Original Note:
His full statement - which was not included in this clip - is that genocide depends on a very special type of intent ("dolus specialis"), and thus pointing to bad things & death does not suffice for genocide. Full statement & context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X_KdkoGxSs&t=4h47m16s More on the concept of dolus specialis: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml#t=dolus%20specialis:~:text=It%20is%20this%20special%20intent%2C%20or%20dolus%20specialis%2C%20that%20makes%20the%20crime%20of%20genocide%20so%20unique
