The Global Raphael Lemkin Seminar for Genocide Prevention is one of the main pillars of the Auschwitz Institute’s work. The program takes its name from Raphael Lemkin (1900–1959), a Polish Jewish lawyer who coined the term “genocide” from the Greek genos (“family,” “tribe,” “race”) and the Latin cide (“killing”). Lemkin spearheaded the campaign in the United Nations for the ratification of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in 1948. Through the Seminar, AIPG is creating a community of government officials who are educated in the latest genocide prevention policy strategies and who support each other in identifying best practices for dealing with the process of genocide and other atrocity crimes. KG Lobby Center attended the seminar as Instructors where we presented our Kurdish Genocide Module.
