I think genocide requires death
It doesn’t, according to the actual definition.
I would love to see the source for that. e.g. Oxford Languages says
The dictionary isn't a legal framework or international organization. The UN has a convention on genocide:
Item (c) comes the closest to what Sisko did, but he did it in a way that gave them a chance to get out, so it's not a perfect match. Forcing conditions for removing a group probably wouldn't qualify under any of these. That said, it can be a factor in Ethnic Cleansing, but the Maquis aren't really an ethnic group.
Good to know
