Ziad Abu-Rish talks about the lack of accountability for the political class in Lebanon, and its culpability for the Beirut port explosion and the country’s economic collapse. Ziad Abu-Rish is visiting associate professor of human rights and director of the new MA Program in Human Rights and the Arts at Bard.
