Following up earlier work on accusations, we proceed with a detailed investigation of a particular class of extreme accusations called genocide accusations. We focus on real time accusations of episodal genocide, meant to bring the target behaviour of the accusee to an end, or to contribute to its termination. We derive conditions under which issuing such accusations may be justified.
