- Enforcement of international law – Some nations are punished for human rights abuses while others have impunity for their crimes -
- Ukraine – The broader implications of Trump administration changes towards that nation -
In this week’s segment we discuss new foreign policy towards Ukraine, and why the Trump administration hopes to further US interests by departing not only from the Biden administration, but decades of policies in the west. But first, the former president of the Philippines is now facing trial at the International Criminal Court at the Hague, but Benjamin Netanyahu, has no such worries. We discuss the inconsistency and hypocrisy in the enforcement of international law which gives impunity to some in the commission of crimes against humanity.
Rodrigo Duterte, former president of the Philippines, is now in the Hague, after the International Criminal Court, the ICC, issued an arrest warrant charging him with crimes committed during his 6 years in office, including his brutal crackdown on those accused of drug crimes. Duterte’s treatment is in contrast to Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant, who travel freely all over the world without any fear that ICC arrest warrants issued against them will ever be acted upon. We’re joined by Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report editor and contributor, and Director of the new Black Alliance for Peace project, the North South Project for Peoples Centered Human Rights provides analysis.
Dr. Gerald Horne is an author and historian who currently holds the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston. Dr. Horne is a prolific author, and his latest work is, African Americans & A New History of the USA . He joins us from Houston to discuss the new U.S. policy towards Ukraine, which returned to public attention after the now infamous public argument between Donald Trump and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky.
