Abstract
The ATSUM organized Tribal Unity Rally on May 3, 2023 in all hill districts of Manipur as a protest against Meitei/Meetei demand for Scheduled Tribe status under the Constitution of India. But the aim of the rally is found to be the hidden agenda of the commencement of genocide campaign against another ethnic group i.e., Meitei. The acts of killing, causing serious bodily or mentally harm and deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part committed against Meiteis are with intent to destroy, in whole or in part of Meitei ethnic group and thereby genocide under International Law.
Government India is mandated under International Law to act swiftly and save Meitei from genocide campaign launched by Kukis with its militants and militants from Myanmar. A genocide cannot be committed by a few crazy individuals alone but needs intellectual masterminds and an organizational apparatus to implement their evil plans. Such is true for the campaign of genocide in Manipur.
Key words: Acts of killing, Genocide, International Law, Kuki, Meitei
“In recent times England has been invaded not by enemies nor by friends but by those who seek England as a haven. In their own countries there are poverty, disease and no homes. In England there is social security, a national health service and guaranteed housing, all to be had for the asking without payment and without working for it. Once here, each seeks to bring his relatives to join him. So, they multiply exceedingly.”
