In an ethnic cleansing, one ethnic or religious group forces another to leave an area. The goal of an ethnic cleansing is to remove a specific group of people from a certain geographical area.

Methods of ethnic cleansing include forcing people to move; deporting people; threatening them until they leave; rape; and mass murder.
