Rafael Lemkin
Rafael Lemkin was a Polish-Jewish lawyer who is best known for coining the term 'genocide' in 1944. His work focused on the prevention of crimes against humanity, and he played a pivotal role in the establishment of the United Nations Genocide Convention in 1948. Lemkin's advocacy was deeply influenced by the atrocities of the Holocaust and his desire to ensure that such acts of mass violence would never be repeated.
