Syria
I don't believe that the conflict in Syria is legally considered a genocide. The government in Syria is mostly concerned with protesters and rebels in Syria. Though civilians ave been killed by Syrian soldiers, they are mostly protesters and anti-Assad rebels. In most cases, the killing of a specific group would be considered to be a genocide. However, the killing of political groups is not legally considered to be a genocide. Since the majority of people killed in Syria are protestors, defectors, and anti-Assad rebels, the murders are being committed for political reasons, and cannot be considered an act of genocide.
