Hersch Lauterpacht

**Sir Hersch Lauterpacht** QC (16 Agustus 1897 – 8 Mei 1960) adalah seorang pengacara Polandia-Britania dan hakim Mahkamah Internasional.

## Biografi
Hersh Lauterpacht dilahirkan pada tanggal 16 Agustus 1897 di sebuah keluarga Yahudi di kota Zolkiew, Austria-Hungaria (kini di Ukraina) di dekat kota Lemberg. Pada tahun 1911, keluarganya pindah ke Lemberg. Pada tahun 1915, ia masuk ke universitas di Lemberg; tidak diketahui apakah ia berhasil lulus dari universitas ini. Lauterpacht sendiri belakangan menulis bahwa ia tidak bisa ikut ujian akhir karena orang Yahudi tidak boleh lagi masuk ke universitas tersebut. Ia lalu pindah ke Wina, dan lalu ke London, dan akhirnya menjadi seorang pengacara internasional. Ia memperoleh gelar S3 dari London School of Economics pada tahun 1925, dan menulis disertasinya mengenai "Private Law Sources and Analogies of International Law" yang diterbitkan tahun 1927.

Pada tahun 1937, ia telah menulis beberapa buku tentang hukum internasional. Ia membantu jaksa penuntut umum dalam Pengadilan Nurnberg. Lauterpacht menjabat sebagai anggota Komisi Hukum Internasional PBB dari tahun 1952 hingga 1954 dan Hakim Mahkamah Internasional dari tahun 1955 hingga 1960.

Lauterpacht Centre for International Law di Universitas Cambridge dinamai darinya. Lembaga tersebut didirikan oleh anaknya, Sir Elihu Lauterpacht, CBE, QC, yang juga menjadi direktur pertamanya.

Samuel Moyn mengatakan bahwa Hersch adalah salah satu dari segelintir pengacara internasional yang secara aktif memperjuangkan hak asasi manusia pada akhir dasawarsa 1940-an, dan ia telah "mengutuk Pernyataan Umum tentang Hak Asasi Manusia sebagai kekalahan yang memalukan bagi idealisme yang telah diproklamasikan dengan agung".

All genocides are crimes against humanity, but not all crimes against humanity are genocides; genocides require a higher standard of proof, as they entail *intent* to destroy a particular group.
