Raphael Lemkin (June 24, 1900–August 28, 1959) was a lawyer, a Polish Jew, a refugee, a humanitarian, and most of all, an extraordinary negotiator. He dedicated his entire life toward the criminalization of genocide under international law. Lemkin achieved a lot in his short life, especially considering the slow evolution of international law. Most significantly, in 1945, he persuaded Nuremberg’s prosecutors to add the word “genocide” to one of the indictments against Nazi leaders. Following the Nuremberg trials, he lobbied states to adopt a United Nations (U.N.) Convention on Genocide, which he successfully did by 1948. After its adoption by the U.N., Lemkin then launched a massive campaign to convince states to ratify the Genocide Convention, which came into force in 1951. This article analyzes the negotiation techniques and strategies that Lemkin successfully employed in pursuit of his goals.

拉斐尔·莱姆金（Raphael Lemkin）：持续谈判者

拉斐尔·莱姆金（1900年6月24日至1959年8月28日）是一名律师，一名波兰犹太人，一名难民，一名人道主义者，最重要的是，一位杰出的谈判代表。他一生致力于根据国际法将种族灭绝定为刑事犯罪。莱姆金（Lemkin）在短暂的人生中取得了很多成就，尤其是考虑到国际法的缓慢发展。最重要的是，在1945年，他说服纽伦堡的检察官在针对纳粹领导人的一项起诉中加上了“种族灭绝”一词。在纽伦堡审判之后，他游说各州通过了一项联合国（UN）灭绝种族公约，并于1948年成功通过了该公约。在被联合国采纳后，Lemkin发起了一场大规模运动，说服各州批准《灭绝种族罪公约》，于1951年生效。
