Abstract

The truth commission of Guatemala stated that a genocide was committed against Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala. The truth commission of Canada concluded that a cultural genocide was committed against Aboriginal Peoples in Canada. The article questions the contribution of the truth commissions of Guatemala and Canada to the recognition of a genocide. Their contribution is analyzed in two areas. The article argues that the work of the two truth commissions shows that the context of a country and the perception of the crime influence the findings on genocide. It also states that the work of the two truth commissions on genocide is part of a movement towards an evolution of the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention.
对土著人民的种族灭绝:加拿大和危地马拉真相委员会的经验
危地马拉真相委员会说,危地马拉发生了针对土著人民的种族灭绝。加拿大真相委员会的结论是,加拿大发生了针对土著人民的文化种族灭绝。这篇文章质疑危地马拉和加拿大真相委员会对承认种族灭绝的贡献。从两个方面分析了他们的贡献。文章认为,两个真相委员会的工作表明,一个国家的背景和对罪行的看法影响了对种族灭绝的调查结果。它还指出,两个真相委员会关于种族灭绝的工作是1948年《联合国灭绝种族罪公约》演变运动的一部分。
