A relative of Raphael Lemkin, the Polish Jewish lawyer who coined the term 'genocide,' has called on a United States-based institute bearing his name to change its title, accusing it of promoting an anti-Israel agenda. Joseph Lemkin, representing several family members, formally requested the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security to stop using the Lemkin name, arguing that its positions contradict Raphael Lemkin's beliefs. The family also involved state authorities, asking for an investigation into the institute's use of the name. The institute responded that it had been open to discussions but received no further communication from the family, and noted that not all Lemkin relatives share the same stance.
