Raphael Lemkin ( June 24, 1900 – August 28, 1959 ) was a Polish lawyer of Jewish descent.

Lemkin was born Rafał Lemkin in the village of Bezwodne in Imperial Russia, now the Vawkavysk district of Belarus.

He grew up in a Jewish family and was one of three children born to Joseph and Bella ( Pomerantz ) Lemkin.

From 1929 to 1934, Lemkin was the Public Prosecutor for the district court of Warsaw.

While Public Prosecutor, Lemkin was also secretary of the Committee on Codification of the Laws of the Polish Republic, which codified the penal codes of Poland, and taught law at Tachkimoni College in Warsaw.

In 1937, Lemkin was appointed a member of the Polish mission to the 4th Congress on Criminal Law in Paris, where he also introduced the possibility of defending peace through criminal law.

During the Polish Defensive War of 1939 Lemkin joined the Polish Army and defended Warsaw during the siege of that city, where he was injured by a bullet to the hip, afterward evading capture by the Germans.

In 1943 Lemkin was appointed consultant to the U. S. Board of Economic Warfare and Foreign Economic Administration and later became a special adviser on foreign affairs to the War Department, largely due to his expertise in international law.

The term genocide was coined by Raphael Lemkin ( 1900 – 1959 ), a Polish-Jewish legal scholar.
