It
is
not
surprising
that
international
jurisprudence
on
the
meaning
of
the
phrase
“
in
part
”
only
developed
once
prosecutions
for
the
crime
began
to
be
brought
.
In
the
mid-1990s
,
international
studies
and
reports
considered
that
the
partial
destruction
of
a
group
merited
the
characterisation
of
genocide
when
it
concerned
a
substantial
part
of
the
entire
group
or
a
significant
section
of
that
group
(
see
paragraphs
94
-
95
of
the
present
judgment
)
.
It
also
emerged
that
the
intent
to
destroy
the
fabric
of
a
society
through
the
elimination
of
its
leadership
,
when
accompanied
by
other
heinous
acts
,
such
as
mass
deportations
,
could
give
a
strong
indication
of
genocide
,
regardless
of
the
actual
numbers
killed
.
Furthermore
,
the
extermination
of
the
group
’s
military
personnel
had
to
be
seen
in
the
context
of
the
fate
of
what
happened
to
the
rest
of
the
group
,
which
became
largely
defenceless
against
other
abuses
(

paragraph
96
)
