Genocide differs from ethnic cleansing in requiring intent to destroy the group

Evidence

While ethnic cleansing is a campaign to remove an ethnic group from a territory, genocide is the deliberate act of exterminating the group, in whole or in part. Mass ethnic killing does not rise to the level of genocide if the aim is not to destroy the group, at least in part. — Erin K. Jenne and Promise Frank Ejiofor, Ethnopopulism and genocidal…, 82
