À propos de cet audio

In this episode of "EDUCIDE," Mike Cunningham explores the impactful legacy of Raphael Lemkin, notably his coinage of the term 'genocide' and advocacy for its recognition and prosecution under international law. Lemkin, a Polish-Jewish lawyer, was motivated by his personal experiences through the Armenian massacres and the Holocaust in World War II. His tireless efforts culminated in the formulation of the United Nations Genocide Convention in 1948, the first human rights treaty by the UN, which set a universal standard to prevent mass atrocities. Today, thanks to Lemkin's pioneering work, numerous international tribunals and bodies protect against crimes against humanity following the principles enshrined in the Genocide Convention.
