Comment: "The definition of genocide in Article 99 of the Lithuanian Criminal Code is broader than the International Law definition found in Article II of the 1948 Genocide Convention and Article 6 of the Rome Statute. Article 99 includes political and social groups in the list of protected groups and adds deportations and torture to the acts by which genocide is committed.
