In a UN convention they defined genocide as meaning any of the following acts commited with intent to destroy, in whole part, a national ethinic, racial or religious group, as such:
A) Killing membersof the group
B) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
C) Delibertly inflicting on the goupr conditions of lift calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or part.
So that could mean if a person or group of people causes these conditions to exist they could be tried at the World Court. I presume that if some one tried to destroy or defame a church or church member this same rule would apply. After all it would be mentally damaging to the members of that religious group.
