The Numerburg Trials and Beyond - Part Two
Manage episode 523485610 series 3502293
In Part One we watched Hermann Goring face the judges at Nuremberg, but Part Two is where the story really hits home. Because Nuremberg did not end in 1946, it launched a revolution, one that still shapes global justice today. It gave us the Genocide Convention, the tribunals for Rwanda and Yugoslavia, and ultimately the International Criminal Court, a court designed to hold even presidents and generals to account.
But here is the twist. The same world that created these rules often breaks them. The same nations that championed Nuremberg now dodge the ICC, ignore arrest warrants, and even blow up suspected drug boats in the Caribbean without credible intelligence or due process. If Nuremberg taught us that killing suspects is a crime, then what exactly are we watching unfold today?
This episode asks a simple, uncomfortable question: does international law still mean anything, or have we slipped back into a world where the powerful decide what justice looks like?
Short, sharp, and impossible to ignore. This is Part Two, and you will not want to miss it.
