Genocide is a process that develops in ten stages that are predictable but not unstoppable. At each stage, preventive measures can stop it. The process is not linear. Stages may happen simultaneously. Logically, later stages must be preceded by earlier stages. But all stages continue to operate throughout the process.

Explanation:

"The 8 Stages of Genocide" was presented in a briefing paper by Gregory Stanton in 1996. He was the founding president of Genocide Watch. In his briefing paper, he said that genocide begins to develop in eight stages. The first conception of the "8 Stages of Genocide" was published in 1987 in Faulds Lecture at Warren Wilson College, and it was also presented to the American Anthropological Association in 1987.

He later added two additional stages, Discrimination and Persecution. The model became a 10-stage model of genocide.

The paper can be used to analyze the processes of genocide, and also for the determination of preventive measures which might be taken to combat or stop each process.
