The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide was adopted by the UN General Assembly in December 1948 and came into effect in January 1951. It defines and outlaws genocide, as a result of campaigning by Raphael Lemkin who had coined the term some years earlier. 1, record 1, English, - Convention%20on%20the%20Prevention%20and%20Punishment%20of%20the%20Crime%20of%20Genocide
