More about the book

The book presents a groundbreaking analysis by Raphael Lemkin, who introduced and defined the concept of genocide within the context of international law. It explores how Lemkin's definition encompassed not only extermination but also the systematic efforts to undermine the social and cultural independence of targeted groups. This work laid the foundation for prosecuting war crimes, particularly against the Nazis, and established a framework for addressing crimes against humanity. The second edition includes introductions by William A. Schabas and Samantha Power, enhancing its historical significance.
