&gt;in whole **or in part**

Yeah I always thought this waters down the whole definition. Couldn't *any* attack aimed at a nationality, ethnicity, race, or religious group be considered an attempt to destroy them "in part"?

It probably could be used to cover any attack, but I don't think I've really heard it used that way.

The cases I can think of that justify "in part" are more about either targeting a recognizable part of a national group (e.g. "we're only killing the *Highland* Scots"), or about trying to end a group without destroying the whole population (e.g. "we're not taking all the children, just enough that the population will shrink and outbreeding will end the culture").

(The "in part" in C is weirdly redundant, but also easier to justify - it basically covers a death march having a few survivors.)

That said, I do see room for huge messes with "in part" and "religious group". If e.g. the child bride polygamist crowd says "you're genociding our distinct part of Fundamentalist Mormonism!", they're probably *right* by this definition.
