Recently, he has been in the news due to a legal investigation in Pennsylvania concerning the 'Lemkin Institute for the Prevention of Genocide,' which allegedly used Raphael Lemkin's name without permission, raising concerns about the misuse of his legacy for political purposes that contradict his principles.
