Solution

All of the acts listed may qualify as genocide, as per the United Nations definition. Genocide is defined as any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group:

  1. The causing of serious mental harm to members of a racial group with the intent to destroy the group: This can be considered as genocide if the intent is to destroy the group in whole or in part.

  2. The killing members and supporters of a political party with the intent to exterminate the group: This may not traditionally fall under the definition of genocide as it pertains to a political group, not a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. However, it could potentially be considered as such if the political group is also a distinct ethnic, racial, or religious group.

  3. The starvation of a religious group: This can be considered as genocide if it is done with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, that religious group.

  4. The removal of an ethnic group from its territory: This is known as "forcible transfer of population" and is considered a form of genocide if done with the intent to destroy the ethnic group in whole or in part.

Please note that the determination of an act as genocide is complex and requires a thorough legal investigation and judgement.
