Po druhé světová válce se vítězné mocnosti snažily přijít s právním konceptem mezinárodního trestního práva, který zaručí to, aby se již nikdy neopakovaly nacistické zločiny. Výraznou roli v celém procesu sehráli američtí a britští právní experti. Ovšem podstatné právní koncepty přinášeli také Sověti, kteří měli zcela jinou válečnou zkušenost s nacisty, než západní země. Nacisté proti nim vedli totiž vyhlazovací válku, která byla vedena úplně jinými prostředky a metodami, než válka na západní frontě. I proto si sovětští juristé velmi dobře uvědomovali, jak je důležité přesně vystihnout to, co bylo na nacismu zločinné. Stále častěji se začal skloňovat pojem zločinný stát v souvislosti s nacistickým režimem. Používal jej Karl Jaspers, nebo Hannah Arendtová. Ta se k němu vracela zejména v souvislosti s Eichmannovým procesem, kdy se ptala na otázku, jak vlastně odsoudit a potrestat člověka, který se podílel na zločinech proti lidskosti tím, že konal dle rozkazů a zákonů daného režimu. Pojem zločinný stát je v centru novinky amerického právního vědce Lawrence Douglase s názvem The Criminal State: War, Atrocity, and the Dream of International Justice (Zločinný stát: válka, násilí a sen o mezinárodní spravedlnosti). Jeho kniha provádí čtenáře myšlenkami o tom, co je vůbec válka, za jakých okolností může být nelegální a co je nepřijatelné válečné násilí od novověkých myslitelů až po první pokusy o ustanovení mezinárodních trestních úmluv a institucí na konci 19. století a v první polovině 20. století. S různými pokusy o kriminalizaci války však zatočila následná druhá světová válka. Norimberský proces, Tokijský tribunál, ani ustanovení Spojených národů o genocidě z roku 1948 však neučinily z poválečného světa humánnější společnost bez válek a válečných zvěrstev. Proč se sen o kriminalizaci války rozplynul? Jakým způsobem se právní experti té doby snažily zabránit opakování válečných hrůz? A proč byl Raphael Lemkin, který přišel s novou právní kategorií genocida, zklamaný z výsledného znění úmluvy o genocidě z roku 1948? Playlist:

July 2 marked 1,000 days of the current phase of escalated genocide of Palestinians, particularly in Gaza. The Israeli military continues bombing and murdering Palestinians daily despite a ceasefire and blockading food, medicines, and other supplies from entering Gaza. Clearing the FOG speaks with Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a trauma surgeon from the United States who has volunteered in Gaza twice and has spoken out about the atrocities being committed there. He reports on the state of the healthcare system and the illegal detention and torture of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and other Palestinians. Dr. Sidhwa makes the critical point that the United States is behind and responsible for all of the crimes being committed by the Zionist state. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.

Sudan is facing one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of the 21st century, yet much of the world is barely paying attention.In this episode, we examine the brutal civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), why many analysts argue this is no longer simply a civil war but a regional proxy conflict, and how foreign powers have helped fuel the violence.We explore the horrific massacres in El Geneina and El-Fasher, the looming threat facing El-Obeid, and why some observers fear another mass killing could be imminent. We also discuss the alleged role of the United Arab Emirates in supporting the RSF, the involvement of regional powers including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Libya, and why international efforts to stop the bloodshed have repeatedly fallen short.Most importantly, we ask why one of the world's largest humanitarian disasters has received so little global attention—and what could happen next if the violence continues unchecked.The origins of Sudan's civil warWho the RSF are and why they are so controversialThe massacres of El Geneina and El-FasherWhy El-Obeid may be the next humanitarian disasterThe role of the UAE and other foreign powersHow regional politics and proxy warfare are shaping the conflictWhy the international response has been so limitedAs the world focuses elsewhere, Sudan stands on the edge of an even greater tragedy. This episode seeks to understand how we got here—and why the consequences may be felt far beyond Sudan's borders.Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of war crimes, ethnic violence, genocide, and mass civilian casualties.#Sudan #Africa #Geopolitics #ProxyWar #HumanitarianCrisis #InternationalRelations #MiddleEast #CurrentAffairs #Podcast #WorldNews⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

Sudan's civil war may be entering another catastrophic phase. As I write this, a genocidal militia is massing outside a major city in Sudan, El Obeid. NGOs, the United Nations — and even Donald Trump's State Department — are warning of the potential of a major mass atrocity event should El Obeid fall. Yet, the attack appears imminent. In this episode of Global Dispatches, I speak with Mutasim Ali, Legal Advisor at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, about the looming threat of mass atrocities in El Obeid, Sudan, as the Rapid Support Forces, the RSF, surround and besiege the city. Sudan's civil war has produced one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, and yet the international response has fallen far short of the scale of the emergency.  Mutasim Ali discusses the worsening conflict, the risk of mass atrocities, and why global expressions of concern have not translated into meaningful action. We discuss the dynamics driving the war, the international actors shaping the conflict, and why Sudan has struggled to command the sustained attention it urgently deserves.

In this episode, we step into one of the darkest chapters of clan history: the Massacre of Eigg. Reading directly from Stuart McHardy's The Well of the Heads, we tell the story of the Smooring of the MacDonalds — the moment invading MacLeods cornered the MacDonalds of ClanRanald hiding in a sea cave on the Isle of Eigg and killed nearly the entire population of the island by lighting brush fires at the cave mouth and suffocating everyone inside.After reading the story straight from the source, we break down a few key details worth a closer look — which MacLeods and which MacDonalds? The importance of Eigg in the history of the Hebrides, and whether this story ever actually took place...Links:Scottish Clans Website - www.scottishclans.infoContribute to the Cause! - https://www.patreon.com/scottishclansBattle Shirts and Clandanas! - https://stores.inksoft.com/the_scottish_clans/shop/homeIn-person or Virtual Scottish Clans Seminar! - Email at thescottishclans@gmail.comYouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@thescottishclans

John Demjanjuk lived for decades as a retired autoworker in suburban Cleveland. Then investigators accused him of being "Ivan the Terrible," one of the most notorious guards at Treblinka. What followed was one of the strangest and most troubling Nazi war-crimes cases of the postwar era: extradition, eyewitness testimony, a death sentence, a reversal, and a final prosecution many years later. In this episode, Michael Shermer talks with Lawrence Douglas, professor at Amherst College and author of The Criminal State: War Atrocity and the Dream of International Justice, about Demjanjuk, Eichmann, Nuremberg, Holocaust denial, and the problem of proving atrocities decades after they happened. How reliable is eyewitness memory after 40 or 50 years? What did Nuremberg actually establish? Was Eichmann really just a bureaucrat? And can a courtroom ever deliver justice for crimes almost too large to comprehend? Lawrence Douglas is the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought at Amherst College and a Guggenheim fellow. His many books include The Right Wrong Man and The Memory of Judgment. His writing has appeared in leading publications such as Harper's, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. His new book is The Criminal State: War Atrocity and the Dream of International Justice.

The Criminal State: War, Atrocity, and the Dream of International Justice (Princeton University Press, 2026) offers a gripping account of how law has confronted the most radical forms of state violence. Beautifully written, broad in scope, and bracingly original, it weaves history with political thought to trace the shifting legal response to state aggression and atrocities, from Leopold's rule over the Congo to Putin's war in Ukraine. At its heart is Lawrence Douglas's fresh interpretation of the law's reckoning with Nazi aggression and atrocity. He shows how the Nuremberg trials challenged centuries of thought—rooted in Hobbes and other canonical thinkers—that shielded sovereigns from legal scrutiny. Yet Nuremberg's bid to frame aggression as the cornerstone of a new order of international criminal law largely failed, giving way to a system now centrally concerned with crimes against humanity and genocide—while leaving unresolved the legality and effectiveness of using force to stop the worst violations of human rights. Providing rare historical perspective on the dilemmas facing international courts, The Criminal State is a sweeping, provocative history of the struggle to bring perpetrators of state violence to justice. Our guest is Professor Lawrence Douglas, who is the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence and Social Thought at Amherst College. Our host is Eleonora Mattiacci, an Associate Professor of Political Science at Amherst College. She is the author of "Volatile States in International Politics" (Oxford University Press, 2023).

The film's trailer depicts sympathetic protagonists being brutally victimized by Iranian authorities, and concludes with the image of fighter jets soaring overhead while an English-captioned Persian voiceover says "If Iran gets liberated, celebrate for me. Enjoy it for us!" Reading by Tim Foley.

In this episode of Key Battles of American History, James speaks with Jenny Chan, director of Pacific Atrocities Education, about the often-overlooked human dimension of the Pacific War. We explore how events like the Nanjing Massacre, the Bataan Death March, and atrocities in the Philippines and Okinawa complicate traditional narratives of American military victory by highlighting their humanitarian consequences. We discuss the challenges of combating denialism and how her organization uses education and digital archives to preserve these histories.

Edward J. Larson details how, during a grueling retreat through New Jersey, Thomas Paine's The American Crisisrevitalized colonial spirits. British and Hessian atrocities against civilians further alienated the population and strengthened the resolve for independence. (13/16)1780

Ed. note: Please be advised that there's some very heavy subject matter discussed in this episode. In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. Jenny left San Francisco for college, heading east to go to school at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Part of it was wanting a change of scenery. As she says, she "wanted to see snow." But all it took was a few winters before she realized how good the weather in SF is. She also wanted to return to help take care of her mom, who was getting older. This was around the time that Jenny went to China and came back determined to spread the untold histories of what happened in her homeland during WWII. The nonprofit learning curve was steep, and it was almost certainly going to mean shifting gears lifestyle-wise, due to not having as much income. During the first year of Pacific Atrocities Education's life, it was fiscally sponsored by Intersection for the Arts, an SF-based arts nonprofit. Jenny enrolled in and went to as many workshops as she could. She felt generally well-respected and taken care of. With her nascent nonprofit off and running, Jenny traveled to a part of China she had never been to before—Shanxi—to visit and talk with women who survived the war as so-called comfort women (think "sex slaves"). Jenny goes on a sidebar here to talk about some of the things the Japanese did to women during their occupation of China. It involved the Japanese not wanting their soldiers to pick up STDs while in a foreign country. If they could control the situation, i.e., enslave Chinese women to have sex with their soldiers, they could solve that "problem." So disgusting. Hearing these women's stories wasn't easy for Jenny. One story involved one of the women being pregnant after the war ended. She went back to live with her mother, who helped her along. When the baby was born, they abandoned it. Just horrible all around. We sidebar, a little, to talk about the ripple effect of wars and how it's not just tanks and bombs and guns and soldiers fighting other soldiers. There are untold numbers of innocent folks caught up in the destruction, folks whose lives are forever upended, if they even survive. Jenny says that the experience on that trip to China gave her perspective on her own childhood in the Tenderloin. She thought maybe it wasn't so bad after all. It wasn't only women in China. She went and spoke with women in California's Central Coast area about their own experiences as "comfort women." These were Filipinas who relocated to the US after the war. Most of their families didn't know their stories. And it wasn't until the Obama era that light started to be shone on them and what they'd been through. Obama's administration was the first to recognize them, but it was complicated, to say the least. Jenny talks about the delicacy of what she set out to do. Specifically, the difficulty of balancing the need to share these stories, but also to be respectful of the lives impacted by them. In addition to the research she was undertaking for Pacific Atrocities Education, Jenny was also writing a book on the topic. She was able to scan documents from the National Archives, documents the US has due to its occupation of Japan following World War II. One of the more alarming things she found in digging through archives was that the United States traded immunity with Japan's Unit 731 scientists, whose work involved developing biological weapons. Yikes. She goes on to describe other atrocious acts the Japanese undertook in China, stuff so horrible and inhumane I have trouble enumerating it here. I ask Jenny how she handles learning about such terrible stuff. She chalks it up to its being mission-driven work. We chat a little about how the people doing bad things never get held accountable, something true to this day. That immunity mentioned above was given to the Japanese scientists in exchange for the information contained in their research of biological weapons, naturally. You read that right: The US looked the other way while essentially poaching incredibly deadly weapons from its vanquished enemy. Please visit pacificatrocities.org to learn more and get involved.

About the Guest: George Gittoes is an acclaimed Australian artist, photographer, filmmaker, and writer known for work centred on conflict zones. For more than four decades, he has documented the realities of war, and he is widely recognised as a leading Australian war artist. He co-founded the Yellow House artists’ collective in Sydney in 1969/70 and later helped establish the Yellow House in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, in 2011. Gittoes has won the Blake Prize for Religious Art twice, the Wynne Prize, and the Sydney Peace Prize in 2015. Key Takeaways: Atrocities are deeply rooted in crimes against humanity, involving extreme acts of cruelty and violence that demand global attention and action. George Gittoes' experiences in conflict zones highlight the power of art to restore dignity and foster peace in war-torn regions. The episode underscores the significance of understanding human dignity through a theological lens, emphasising creativity over destruction. The film "Nuremberg" explores the historic trial of Nazi war criminals and the psychological complexity behind such heinous acts. Discourse around global justice systems reveals both flaws and the essential need for mechanisms to address and prevent future atrocities. Notable Quotes: "It's only art that can save humanity." - George Gittoes "When you dehumanise others, you're actually reducing yourself." - Megan Paul du Trois "I always believe that the good angels are going to win." - George Gittoes "The justification is, I assume the actions of the Israeli government make, make the killing of Jews anywhere justifiable." - Michael Jensen "He's fascinated and attracted as well as repelled by the character who is charming and intelligent and yet deeply evil." - Michael Jensen Resources: George Gittoes' Official Website See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ed. note: We recorded this episode outside on a windy day near The Bay. Apologies for the wind gusts you'll hear throughout. Jenny Chan found Storied: San Francisco thanks to Toshio from Sad Francisco. Jenny and I kick off her episode talking about Toshio, in fact. Jenny was born in Hong Kong. Growing up, her dad's mom babysat her a lot. Young Jenny really loved anime and would turn it on at grandma's house. When she did this, her Chinese grandmother would get upset, and Jenny didn't know why. She thought maybe her grandma was senile. Later in Jenny's life, when her grandmother passed away and she helped clean and organize her home in China, she discovered items her grandma kept that pointed to a life spent under Japanese occupation before and during World War II. We mentioned anime, but when Jenny was a kid, she just loved Japanese culture all around. She indulged in manga whenever she could save up enough money. As with the anime, her grandma didn't take kindly to these Japanese things in her home. When she was 10, Jenny's parents split up. She and her older brother then joined their mom and moved to the US. When Jenny remarks that she's not sure how her mom did it, we go on a sidebar. Jenny shares that her mom grew up during the time of the US war in Vietnam, so she's a survivor. I add that, simply, women are amazing. In US schools, Jenny learned about the Holocaust. She also learned about Pearl Harbor, but like most school-age kids in this country, it was in the context of what got the US into WWII. Japanese colonialism and dominance in east Asia never really came up. Her family came straight from Hong Kong to San Francisco in 2000. Members of her mom's family had already been here, dating back to the Seventies and Eighties. Jenny and her mom and brother lived in the Tenderloin when they arrived. She saw the dirty streets in that hood and wondered why they traded Hong Kong skyscraper living for this. Her mom told her that for many reasons, including not having to buy school uniforms, life in SF was more affordable. Jenny's run of schools in The City—Lafayette, Presidio, Washington High. I ask her if she experienced culture shock moving halfway around the world. She says yes and points to knowing only people from Hong Kong when she lived there. Here, she quickly learned that there are folks from all over China and differences abound. She says also that Chinese people she met in San Francisco or The Bay were stuck in whatever era they moved here during, and that was sometimes startling. We go on a sidebar here after Jenny asks me about my own move here from Texas in 2000. Jenny spent a lot of time in the school library, including during lunches. She dedicated herself to learning from an early age. She recognized the hardships her family was going through and saw education as a way to climb out of that. She used her 45-minute Muni commutes from the Tenderloin to school in the Richmond to read and do homework. Her mom worked in restaurants here in The City. Jenny would go with her mom to places like the bank to do the translation. Jenny was learning about life in the US in real time and for practical reasons. At my prompting, Jenny and I rap about all the awesome food in the Little Saigon area of the Tenderloin. I share the story of coming home from my trip to Vietnam and eating at Turtle Tower right away because I missed the food of that incredible country. Jenny lived in the Tenderloin through all her public school days in San Francisco. When her paternal grandmother passed away, she went back to China to clean out her home, as we've mentioned. And that's when Jenny and other members of her family started finding items—military yen, rice-rationing coupons—that pointed to life spent under occupation. Back home, Jenny had found a decent job after college, but was feeling stuck. The revelation of her grandmother's lived experience was a light bulb. It was around this time that Jenny realized a massive hole in her US education. Why didn't she learn about the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, for example? Most of the emphasis was on the war in Europe, with Pearl Harbor and later the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki being the main subjects of the history of war in the Asian theater. In her own words, Jenny went "into a deep rabbit hole" to learn those untold stories. Her first stop was the library, where she discovered books like The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang and The Rising Sun by John Toland. The more she learned, the more she sought existing nonprofits she could join forces with to amplify the stories of the Japanese occupation of China. To her dismay, there weren't any. It was around 2012 or 2013, and Jenny figured that she already knew how to live without much income. And so, she decided to start her own company—a nonprofit dedicated to getting those stories out to the world. Pacific Atrocities Education was born. Check back Thursday for Part 2 with Jenny Chan.

On today’s episode of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott broadcasts from California with a powerful and wide-ranging program covering politics, national security, and a landmark report on Hamas atrocities. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joins the show to defend his “Great American Road Trip” initiative celebrating America’s 250th anniversary and responds to criticism from Democrats over the project. Scott also speaks with Campus Reform reporter Emily Sturge about colleges hosting private graduation ceremonies for illegal immigrant students and allegations that some schools are helping students avoid ICE enforcement. Congressman Brandon Gill discusses a new House GOP anti-fraud task force investigating Medicaid and social services fraud, while Senator Rand Paul reacts to explosive testimony from a CIA whistleblower alleging intelligence findings on the origins of COVID-19 changed after intervention from Dr. Anthony Fauci. In Hour 2, Kentucky congressional candidate Ed Gallrein discusses his Trump-backed primary challenge to Thomas Massie before Scott conducts an emotional and extensive interview with Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, who led the newly released investigation documenting Hamas’ systematic use of rape and sexual violence during and after the October 7 attacks, including testimony from survivors, hostages, investigators, and medical experts. https://www.chevron.com/america https://www.balanceofnature.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy speaks with war correspondent James Verini, who reported from Ukraine about the devastating 2022 bombing of a theater in Mariupol housing 1500 refugees. James (and photographer Paolo Pellgrin) made his way to survivors of the bombing, and later tracked down every survivor he could find. The result is The Theater: Courage and Survival in the Defining Atrocity of the Ukraine War, a new book that tells stories of ordinary people—students, actors, metal workers, a doctor, a cook—called upon to do extraordinary things. The Theater is cinematic (calling Christopher Nolan!) and horrifying, beautiful and essential, a battle between freedom and authoritarianism that Russia is determined to win—and Ukraine more determined not to lose. “You had the fact that this theater represented Ukrainian culture and the dream of an independent Ukraine,” says James. “On the dark opposite side of that, it represented what Putin and Russia were trying to wipe out, the idea that there is such a thing as Ukrainian culture, that there is such thing as a Ukrainian language... The theater was, if not exactly a metaphor, then the perfect setting for this kind of story, of a young republic now barely more than 30 years old that was fighting for its life.”(Sarah was unable to sit in on this episode, but she'll be listening!) Also discussed:* On why first-person war books should be under 200 pages* A “glandular nostalgia” for the Soviet Union* When you're reporting overseas, “someone is always going to think you're CIA”* One advantage to not speaking the local language* “You can't do what I do and care about money”* Nancy gives thanks for Reason's editorial freedom* How James covered up the smell of pot smoke back in the day* Nancy: still not Jewish!* The Nazi high command was “a cabal of mediocrities”* Salad days at Vanity FairPlus, props for reporters William Langewiesche and Evan Wright, what to eat if you want to be a competitive eater, a great audiobook on New York City excesses in the ‘90s, and much more.Pre-order The Theater, out on May 19. Also on May 19, James will be in conversation with recent Smoke guest Sebastian Junger. Tickets here.Nancy note to self: Less ambition when flipping salmon will forestall another armpit burn

In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Jenny Chan, co-founder of Pacific Atrocities Education. We start the episode with Jenny discussing what Pacific Atrocities Education is and the inspiration behind the organization. We talk about how western narratives overlook and silence stories from World War II in the Asia-Pacific region and the impact of these stories being overlooked and silenced. We discuss the human cost of collective traumas and how historical trauma informs present day mental health. Jenny discusses why it is important to remember difficult histories and how doing such can aid in our self-growth and resilience. Further we discuss how individuals can heal from historical wounds and what steps we need to take to ensure these tragedies do not happen again.Information shared by guests on Psych Talk are reflective of their own values, perspectives, and life experiences. Psych Talk values platforming various perspectives and experiences even if those views are not necessarily reflective of Psych Talk's values and perspectives.

Ian Buruma describes Joseph Goebbels as a master propagandist who used entertainment to distract Berliners from wartime horrors.

Despite sanctions and repeated condemnation against the Burmese military, the ruling junta continues to unleash brutal attacks against its own people, including religious minorities such as Muslim-majority Rohingya and Christian-majority Chin, Kachin, and Karen communities. Several global efforts to hold the Burmese military accountable through a variety of international legal mechanisms are now underway.On this episode of the USCIRF Spotlight podcast, Commissioner Stephen Schneck speaks with Tom Andrews, former Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, as well as Arsalan Suleman, a partner at Foley Hoag's International Litigation and Arbitration Practice. They focus their discussion on the ongoing case in the International Court of Justice which prosecutes the Burmese government's role in the Rohingya genocide.

The last few years have been a particularly challenging time for the international law framework outlines at Nuremberg. The trial of the German leadership at the end of the Second World War, coupled with the creation of the UN and the UN Charter, codified a series of legal obligations for state leaders. It outlawed waging war or even threatening war. It held individual leaders as criminally liable for violating the rules of war. And it promised prosecutions as a result of these violations. While it had never realized its promise, the past few years, from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, to terrorist attacks against Israel and Israel's waging of war in Gaza and Lebanon, to the Israeli and American war against Iran, have been a particular challenge to the so-called Nuremberg principles. So on today's show, we explore what these principles are whether international actors can return to their promise.

In this episode we sat down with Jai-Ayla Sutherland and Kelsey Paul Shantz, Program Officers for Mass Violence and Atrocities at the Stanley Center for Peace and Security. Jai and Kelsey discuss their work on preventing mass violence, including their recently published co-edited volume, Identity-Based Mass Violence in Urban Contexts: Uncovered. The conversation highlights the importance of early warning and structural prevention, with a particular emphasis on the role of city leaders in addressing identity-based harm. They also underscore the need for stronger collaboration between global and local actors to enhance prevention efforts and improve community safety.

On today's episode, Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sits down with Lawrence Douglas, the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought at Amherst College to discuss Douglas's new book, “The Criminal State: War, Atrocity, and the Dream of International Justice.”They talk about how and why international criminal justice shifted from a focus at Nuremberg on the crime of aggression to an “atrocity paradigm,” as well as the “belatedness problem” and other limitations of atrocity trials. They even get into Douglas's thoughts on casting decisions for Robert Jackson, Herman Göring, and characters in last year's film “Nuremberg.” To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Dating while building your life isn't simple.In this episode of Road to Victory, I break down the reality of pursuing relationships while you're still trying to get yourself together—financially, mentally, and emotionally.We talk about:• Is it okay to date when you're broke?• The difference between loneliness and genuine connection• Why attraction comes from becoming, not chasing• The influence of environment—especially when life starts feeling good again• Past relationship patterns and wanting to be wanted• Finding balance between discipline and living your lifeThis isn't about avoiding love.It's about being honest about where you are…and who you're becoming.

Mike questions why certain atrocities seem to fade from headlines while others dominate, suggesting media narratives shape what gets attention. He challenges the push to blame guns alone, arguing deeper systemic failures are being ignored. The focus then shifts to Iran, warning the nuclear threat is more serious than many admit and pushing back on coverage that downplays U.S. success. There’s a broader argument that political motives often drive the reaction—where victories are minimized and failures amplified—pointing to a pattern that goes beyond any single story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
