Public Record
Democide refers to “the intentional killing of an unarmed or disarmed person by government agents acting in their authoritative capacity and
pursuant to government policy or high command.” What’s interesting about the term is that it can cover a wide range of deaths, such as forced
labor or extrajudicial summary killings, but it can also be mass deaths due to governmental acts of criminal omission and neglect. Understanding
the term in this light is where things get interesting.
