Abstract
The term genocide immediately reminds one of mass murders and concentration camps, the horrendous war crimes, grounds for the strictest legal sanctions of state and international law. However, genocide isn't just that - this term implies a much broader range of crimes, historical and temporary likewise. One of the less known terms linked to genocide is cultural genocide. Although seemingly more benign that Hitler's regime, cultural genocide is an immense danger to global civilisation. With this work we shall draw attention to the serious nature of the phenomenon of cultural genocide, the consequences it can have on the society, the diversity of the situations in which it can develop, as well as some of the factors which make it an extremely strong risk to the global society.
