I was just doing some snooping on the internet and was wondering if we could come up with a comprehensive list of genocides/crimes against humanity that occurred in the 20th century. I think everyone in here is aware of the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust. Here is a list I ran across for events that happened after WWII. We can keep adding to the list and maybe summarize the events that led up to the Genocides. What do you guys think?
Genocides Since 1951 (After January 12, 1951 when the Genocide Convention came in force)
East Pakistan 1971: Genocide in East Bengal
Burundi 1972: Selective Genocide of Hutus.
Cambodia 1975-1979: Khmer Rouge "Killing Fields"and Genocide
Guatemala 1981-83: Genocide in the Maya Highlands
Iraq 1987-88: Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan
Bosnia-Herzegovia 1992-1995: Serb "Etnicko Ciscenje" of Bosnian Muslims.
Rwanda 1994: Akazu "Hutu Power" Genocide of Tutsis
