Prosecuting the Powerful: Global Justice at a Crossroads

International justice is more in the headlines than ever before. Steve Crawshaw has worked on these themes for the past thirty years, as journalist and human rights advocate. For Prosecuting the Powerful, he travelled to Ukraine, Israel/Palestine and Syria, talking to those who are working towards truth and accountability for the crimes committed. 

This is a historic moment for international justice. Arrest warrants have been issued for Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. Rodrigo Duterte, former president of the Philippines, goes on trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague at the end of November. But the Trump administration says it wants to dismantle the ICC “brick by brick”. If the court is destroyed, could it ever be rebuilt? The Japanese president of the ICC, Tomoko Akane, describes this as an “existential” moment. Can global justice be saved — and what is needed? Come join us to discuss these important themes.
