Summary/Abstract: The article considers the crime of genocide under Bulgarian criminal law. The first legal definition of this crime was given in the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This definition is almost verbatim reproduced in art. 416 of the Bulgarian Penal Code. At the same time, it appears in the statutes of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, as well as in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. This allows the jurisprudence of the international criminal courts related to genocide, as well as the doctrine studying the crime under International criminal law, to be integrated and used in the analysis of the crime under art. 416 of the Bulgarian Penal Code.
