Moses examines the contribution of Lemkin to the meaning of the concept of Genocide - "undergirding the protection of group existence against extermination, then, is the communitarian assumption that nations and nationhood are intrinsically valuable because, unlike other human collectives such as political parties, they produce culture, endow individual life with meaning, and compromise the building blocks of human civilization."
