This page lacks an unavoidable reference to the acts of genocides committed by Timur during 35 years, including systematic ethnic cleansing and execution of entire populations, such as in Delhi and Middle East. According to Timur's contemporary chronicles and modern Historians, most victims were killed because of their religion beliefs, including Hindi, Buddhist, Armenian, Georgian, Greek Orthodox, etc. Estimates vary between 17 and 20 Million victims:
17 Million vicitms according to "The History of the Mongol Conquests" of
John Joseph Saunders (1971) and the "Armies of the Ottoman Turks, 1300–1774." of David Nicolle (1983).
20 Million victims according to "Tamerlane: Sword of Islam, Conqueror of the World" of Justin Marozzi (2004). — Preceding unsigned comment added by As97wiki (talk • contribs) 21:42, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On December 29, 2023, South Africa filed an Application instituting proceedings against Israel with the ICJ alleging that Israel had violated its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (the "Genocide Convention") during its 2023 offensive in the Gaza Strip.[1] South Africa's standing is based on the *erga omnes partes* nature of the Genocide Convention, which allows and obligates States Parties to the convention to take measures to prevent and punish the crime of genocide. South Africa requested indication of provisional measures by the ICJ, including that Israel end its military operations, to "protect against further, severe and irreperable harm to the rights of the Palestinian people under the Genocide Convention", triggering an urgent preliminary hearing. Public hearings on the provisional measures question were held on January 11 (oral arguments by South Africa) and January 12 (oral arguments by Israel), respectively.[2]Hovsepig (talk) 06:30, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Bibliography section seemed unfeasibly large to me, and contained many works not actually called by references in the article. I have moved those which are not called to the Further reading section. I hope this makes the article more readable. DuncanHill (talk) 23:17, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
