/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Raphael Lemkin's Dossier on the Armenian Genocide,"
a stunningly graphic book published by CAR., the Center for Armenian
Remembrance, constitutes an important contribution for scholars,
human rights activists and others seeking to know what the originator
of the term genocide and the "father" of the Genocide Convention had
to say about the Armenian Genocide, the CAR told PanARMENIAN.Net.
This timely book, which was published through the efforts of Attorney
Vartkes Yeghiayan, is the perfect antidote to the denialist campaign
that has lately intensified by the banning of a book in Toronto and
its replacement by books by denialist historians Bernard Lewis and
Guenther Levy.
It is impossible not to be touched by the eyewitness reports that
Lemkin has meticulously compiled in this dossier. The reader will
quickly be convinced that the brutal campaign against the Armenians
is the very definition of Genocide. This book has the power to inflame
the reader with indignation, sorrow and righteous anger.
"Raphael Lemkin's Dossier on the Armenian Genocide" also contains
a lucid foreword by eminent professor Michael J. Bazyler, and a
meticulous, complete bibliography on Lemkin by Eddie Yeghiayan.
"Raphael Lemkin's Dossier on the Armenian Genocide" is the fifth book
in the "The Armenian Genocide and the Armenian Case" series put out
by CAR Publishing.
Raphael Lemkin was one of the greatest and most influential lawyers
and human rights activists in the last century. Not only did he coin
the word "genocide," but was also the prime mover for the enactment
of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of
Genocide (the "Genocide Convention"), the international law document
that in 1948 made genocide an international "crime of crimes."
Distressed by the cyclical slaughter of Armenians by Turks in 1894,
1909, and 1915, Lemkin compiled a dossier and searched for legal
remedies to punish perpetrators of mass murder and to deter and
prevent future genocides.
