Not in the present, but in the past there has been the effort of mass executions indeed.
However, the definition of genocide according to the UN Anti Genocide Convention goes beyond mass executioning a people, and also mentions the systematic effort to destroy a culture, or to make it's survivability and it's handing over to the next generation impossible.
