The definition of genocide employed by the United Nations is criticized for failing to protect certain groups from abuses conducted by state entities. Drawing from the case study of Romania, this article explores how the narrow definition of genocide impacts the assessment and prosecution of charges of genocide during the process of transition from communism to democracy. Furthermore, drawing on Axel Honneth's theory of recognition, the research explores how this restrictive interpretation of genocide undermines victims' claims to justice and recognition, revealing that the strict interpretation of genocide hinders transitional justice efforts and erodes trust in state institutions
