The publication referenced Wairimu’s initial post on when to refer to a situation as genocide, from which the United Nations based its argument. In the controversial article by the special advisor, she states that the clarification was important since the term is mostly misused.

Nderitu noted that genocide encompasses a Holocaust such as the one perpetrated by the Hutus against the Tutsis in Rwanda, the attack on Bosnian Muslims by the Serbians, and the deaths witnessed in Sudan.

However, regarding the killings perpetrated by Israel, Wairimu noted that the consistent pattern of violence committed by the Israeli soldiers cannot be classified as genocide.
