We
also
note
that
some
20,000
Lithuanian
partisans
were
killed
in
1940
and
between
1944
and
1953
.
The
Lithuanian
population
at
that
time
stood
at
nearly
3,000,000
.
While
the
number
of
partisans
killed
is
considerable
,
it
may
not
appear
to
be
particularly
large
in
terms
of
an
overall
percentage
of
the
total
population
of
Lithuania
.
However
,
we
can
not
disregard
the
general
scale
of
the
repressions
in
Lithuania
,
including
imprisonment
and
mass
deportations
of
the
civilian
population
.
We
take
particular
account
of
the
well
-
known
fact
that
the
Soviet
repressions
also
targeted
the
partisans
’
families
,
as
well
as
other
people
allegedly
connected
with
them
,
who
were
likewise
subjected
to
imprisonment
,
deportation
or
killing
.
The
cluster
of
actions
taken
against
a
protected
group
(
in
this
case
,
the
nation
)
must
be
considered
in
its
entirety
in
order
to
interpret
the
provisions
of
the
Genocide
Convention
in
a
spirit
consistent
with
its
purpose
(
see
paragraph
96
of
the
present
judgment
)
.
The
Government
submitted
,
and
this
has
not
been
disputed
by
the
applicant
(
see
paragraphs
126
and
133
)
,
that
in
1940
and
between
1944
and
1953
thousands
of
Lithuanian
inhabitants
were
imprisoned
,
deported
or
killed
.
Soviet
repressions
in
Lithuania
affected
one
in
five
persons
.
We
have
already
noted
the
ICTY
judgment
in
Krstić
and
the
ICJ
judgment
in
Croatia
v.
Serbia
to
the
effect
that
when
the
fate
of
part
of
the
group
is
emblematic
of
that
of
other
members
of
that
group
,
this
may
permit
the
conclusion
that
the
eliminated
group
was
substantial
,
and
enable
the
finding
that
it
comes
within
the
meaning
of
the
phrase
“
in
part
”
of
Article
II
of
the
Genocide
Convention
(
see
paragraphs
101
and
108
of
the
present
judgment
,
and
paragraph
24
above
)
