On page 183, in explaining why Bosnian Serb policies ought not to be viewed as genocide, they urge that "the practice of expelling Muslims from Serb-controlled territories and the tendency to single out men and boys for execution - while in themselves despicable - seem contrary to an intent to destroy the Muslim people its such" (their emphasis).
