Which is the UN definition of genocide?

 The United Nations (UN) definition of genocide is found in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), which was adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 9, 1948. According to Article II of this convention, genocide is defined as:

"Any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

Central to this definition is the intent to destroy a particular group, which distinguishes genocide from other types of crimes against humanity or war crimes. The definition outlines the specific actions that can constitute genocide when they are carried out with this destructive intent.
