Ben Ferencz magyar származású amerikai jogász volt. 103 éves koráig élt, és talán nem túlzás állítani, hogy egész életében egy igazságosabb világért harcolt. Fiatal korától kezdve tanulmányozta a háborús bűnök kérdéskörét. A második világháborúban már azon dolgozott, hogy bizonyítékokat gyűjtsön a nácik emberiesség ellen elkövetett tetteire. Mindössze 27 éves volt, amikor önként vállalta, hogy főügyészként részt vesz Nürnbergben az SS-tisztek Einsatzgruppe-perében. Tanulmányai és megrázó személyes tapasztalatai indították arra a következtetésre, hogy a világnak szüksége van egy nemzetközi jogi szervezetre, amely elítéli és felelősségre vonja a háborús bűnösöket. Több évtizedes, kitartó munkájának is köszönhető, hogy létrejött a Nemzetközi Büntetőbíróság, aminek jelenleg 125 ország a tagja - Magyarország kilépésével ez a szám eggyel csökken majd a közeljövőben.

Yesterday's broadcast (4/16/23) did not record, so today I will re-record the show. The GOP in Missouri has not only defunded the state libraries, but has done so in political retaliation against librarians daring to use their 1st amendment rights. The librarians have sued the state with the ACLU handling the case pro bono.  The MO. Attorney General has essentially banned gender affirming care in the state for minors and consenting adults. The barriers to care basically serve to deny care.  Both stories are examples of censoriship used to serve religious fundamentalists and as such are unconstitutional. The editorial is about the corporate media's self censorship. The obituary of Nuremberg prosecutor Ben Ferencz omits his ongoing campaign to hold George W. Bush and his administration accountable for the illegal Iraq War.   We also have the "My Little Margie' segment, in addtion to the Despicable List of Infamy and our famous Jackass of the Week Award.  Come join me.  J

In December 1944, Frank Hartzell was a young soldier pressed into fierce fighting during the Battle of the Bulge. He was there battling Nazi soldiers for control of the Belgian town of Chenogne, and he was there afterward when dozens of unarmed German prisoners of war were gunned down in a field.  Reporter Chris Harland-Dunaway travels to Belgium to tour Chenogne with Belgian historian Roger Marquet. Then he sits down with Bill Johnsen, a military historian and former dean of the Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to ask why the Patton Papers don't accurately reflect Gen. George S. Patton's diary entries about Chenogne.  The massacre at Chenogne happened soon after the Malmedy massacre, during which Nazi troops killed unarmed American POWs. The German soldiers responsible were tried at Dachau, but the American soldiers who committed the massacre at Chenogne were never held accountable. Harland-Dunaway interviews Ben Ferencz, the last surviving lawyer from the Nuremberg Trials, about why the Americans escaped justice. And finally, Harland-Dunaway returns to Hartzell to explain what he's learned and to press Hartzell for a full accounting of his role that day in Chenogne.  This episode was originally broadcast July 28, 2018.  Don't miss out on the next big story.

 “Never give up”. Is the motto of Ben Ferencz, the last surviving prosecutor of the Nuremberg post-war US Military Tribunals, and at 99 years of age, he is still a tireless, and fearless, fighter for human rights and justice. After the war, Ferencz was drafted into the Trials at a time when the very concept of war crimes was barely understood. Just 27 at the time, he found himself prosecuting former SS officers responsible for the deaths of thousands of men, women and children. He went on to campaign for the establishment of international law, including the creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and to ensure restitution and rehabilitation for the victims of Nazi war crimes.

The promotion of more just and peaceful societies is a fundamental goal of the United Nations (UN). In response to the spike in violent conflict worldwide and unparalleled levels of forced displacement, the UN broke new ground in 2016 with two “peacebuilding resolutions,” which set forth a new UN approach to “sustaining peace” that addresses “all stages of conflict” and “all its dimensions.” During this session, we explored what law, policy, and ethics can teach us about “sustaining peace” and how the UN can be assisted in forging a more coherent vision of this new paradigm.
