Hij was een Nederlands rechtsgeleerde en politicus. Na zijn eindexamen studeerde hij vanaf 1921 rechten aan de Rijks- universiteit Leiden, waar hij in 1927 promoveerde. Vervolgens werkte hij als advocaat op het kantoor van zijn vader. Vanaf 1938 raakte hij betrokken bij de Nederlandse politiek: hij werd op 35-jarige leeftijd partijvoorzitter van de Liberale Staatspartij.
Zijn felle verzet in de Tweede Wereldoorlog leidde ertoe dat hij 18 december 1940 door de Duitse bezetter werd opgepakt. Hij overleed vlak voor de bevrijding op 42- jarige leeftijd in concentratie- kamp Bergen-Belsen.

Excerpt: Benjamin Marius Telders, professor of international law, died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen on 6 April 1945. He was an example of civil courage before and during the occupation. He spoke up against inequity and injustice.(Submitted on November 8, 2022.)
Together with his colleague Cleveringa, Telders was involved in the events of October 1940, when all professors in the Netherlands were instructed to sign what was known as the Aryan Declaration. Telders led the resistance to this declaration. This far, but no further, he wrote to the President of the Supreme Court of the Netherlands, L.E. Visser.
