Podcasts about chief prosecutor

A US war crimes prosecutor and US Army veteran Eric Iverson has no choice but to file a new federal lawsuit against Trump and his Administration because Trump's putting his employer, the International Criminal Court and its Chief Prosecutor on a blacklist to block its assets, and ban people from providing services to it is so over broad, that Iverson can't do his job to go after bad guys in Darfur of all places. Michael Popok looks carefully at Trump's Executive Order and explains why this suit should be yet another loss for the Trump Administration. Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!

The Chief Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court sits down with Nick Robinson.Producers: Daniel Kraemer and Jonathan Brunert

He said he may seek to extradite social media influencers abroad who incited violence

This weekend, far-right riots and violence have continued to spread across the country after the killing of three young girls in Southport last week. Hundreds of people have been arrested following violent altercations and the destruction and burning of hotels in Rotherham and Tamworth where asylum seekers were living.Nazir Afzal was a Chief Crown Prosecutor in 2011 during the August riots that began in London and spread across the whole country. He joins Rachel Cunliffe, associate political editor, on the New Statesman podcast, to discuss how the far-right violence we have experienced in recent days is “reminiscent” of 2011, what has changed since then, and how the deaths of the young girls have been overshadowed by this political agenda. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

To hear more, visit www.stateoftelaviv.comKarim Khan, K.C., is the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, and in the last week he has become a household name, globally. Mr. Khan made a lengthy statement one week ago, announcing his intention to seek judicial approval to issue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defence Yo…

On Monday, May 20th, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, applied for arrest warrants for three senior Hamas leaders and for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The Hamas leaders include the top official in Gaza, Yahyah Sinwar, Hamas' military commander Muhammad Deif, and Ismail Haniyeh, the Qatar-based political leader of Hamas. These three men were charged with crimes related to the October 7th attack and their treatment of hostages in captivity. On the Israeli side, Netanyahu and Gallant were charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity, including using starvation as a method of warfare. For those of you who subscribe to the Global Dispatches Newsletter, you'll know that I've been expecting this shoe to drop since November, when Karim Khan first warned Hamas and Israeli officials that his office has jurisdiction in relation to this conflict. Well, this ICC action has now happened, and on the line with me to discuss what these applications for arrest warrants mean and where this ICC case may be headed next is Mark Kersten. He is an assistant professor of criminal justice and criminology at the University of the Fraser Valley who specializes in International Law. He's also a senior consultant at the Wayamo Foundation.

On May 20, the Chief Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, filed arrest warrant applications for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and three senior Hamas leaders. Mondoweiss correspondent David Kattenburg called the charges against the Israeli leaders a "bombshell." Khan said the two men "bear criminal responsibility" for a host of war crimes and crimes against humanity including: starvation of Gazan civilians as a method of warfare, wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury in the besieged enclave, wilful killing or murder, intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population, extermination by starvation, and persecution and other “inhumane acts” committed from at least October 8. All of these crimes form part of a "widespread and systematic attack against the Palestinian civilian population pursuant to State policy." In this episode, Yumna Patel speaks with Hassan Ben Imran, a member of the Governing Council of Law for Palestine, about Palestinians' long effort to access international legal institutions and the impact of this development. Later, I speak to Spencer Ackerman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign policy columnist for The Nation, about how these indictments deepen the crisis of international order. - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.

The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders over alleged war crimes. ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, has applied for arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders, and also for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. He says he has reasonable grounds to believe they bear responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The Clare-based Chair of Sadaka, the Ireland-Palestine Alliance, believes it'll soon be "political or logically" impossible for Ireland to have any dealings with Israel. The comments come as the Taoiseach has told the President of the Palestinian Authority that Ireland's decision to recognise the Palestinian state was to keep hopes for a two-state solution alive. Following the announcement that Ireland, Spain and Norway will formally recognise the state of Palestine next Tuesday May 28th, Israel has acted swifty by recalling its envoys to Ireland and Spain for "urgent consultation". The Israeli foreign ministry warned in advance of the decision that recognising the state would "only fuel extremism and instability", while the country's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has characterised the move as a "prize for terrorism". Taoiseach Simon Harris is standing firm however and says Israel shouldn't be surprised by the decision. It comes in a week when the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has issued warrants for the Israeli prime minister and defence minister, as well as senior members of Hamas, for suspected "crimes against humanity". Responding to claims that recognising Palestine means recognising Hamas, Newmarket-on-Fergus native and Professor of Politics at DCU, Donnacha Ó Beacháin, insists its about respecting the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. The International Court of Justice decided earlier this year that Palestinians in Gaza have plausible rights under the Genocide convention. It concluded Gazans are at real risk of irreparable damage and that Israel should take steps to prevent genocide from occurring. The court is due to issue an advisory opinion on the Israeli occupation of Palestine in July of this year. Kilmaley native and Chairperson of Sadaka, the Ireland-Palestine Alliance, Eamon Meehan, says it's likely Israel's occupation will be found to be illegal, after which point the Irish Government should sever all engagement with Israeli settlements.

A helicopter crash over the weekend has launched tensions in the Middle East to new heights, following news that the incident killed the Iranian President and Foreign Minister. Additionally, overseas, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court claims he's seeking arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders due to their committing 'war crimes and crimes against humanity'.  In the U.S., a new chapter in former President Donald Trump's trial is approaching -- after the prosecution and defense have both rested their cases without having the former President take the stand. To discuss this & more, FOX News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, Democratic Pollster Carly Cooperman, and Republican Strategist Colin Reed join Bret for this week's All-Star Panel.

Moritz Fuchs was a private in the 1st infantry division, 26th regiment, when he was sent overseas after D-Da,y to help fight German forces in the Huertgen forest, which saw some of the worst fighting in the whole war and claimed over 30,000 U.S. casualties.   After being wounded and recovering, he later served in the Harz mountains of Germany. After the war, he was appointed bodyguard to the Chief Prosecutor of the Nuremberg trials and was a witness to all the historic proceedings. Father Fuchs describes his impressions of the trials and how they deeply affected him. Immediately following his discharge and return to the U.S. he enrolled in seminary school and became a priest, serving for over 60 years until 2018 when he passed away at age 92.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

In the first segment of our show today, we weigh in with the facts of Israel's incursion into Rapha -- that large city in the South of Gaza where Hamas has reportedly moved most of their military operations in their war against Israel. The reports we shared with you reveal that Hamas is in trouble. This is the last known spot where they can keep their terrorist operations going. Then, we reveal the shocking details of the Chief Prosecutor in the Trump Hush Money trial underway in Manhattan. It may come as a surprise, but this prosecutor is a lifelong "Trump-hater" who left a cush position in Biden's Department of Justice to go to the Manhattan District Attorney's office specifically to prosecute Donald Trump. Steve Baker steps in and shares the latest truths in the Biden White House and Administration. He also confirms our thoughts on "Mar-A-Lago Gate," where the FBI has grossly mishandled those classified documents seized by the FBI and are the subject of another trial of Donald Trump. This discovery of document mishandling should result in dropping the case!

Things are shaking across the U.S. Daily. More evidence appears that the Biden Administration is heavy-handedly going after conservative Americans in an egregious fashion. A group of pro-life protesters back in 2021 peacefully sat in a hallway in front of an abortion clinic and merely sang worship songs while sitting there. They confronted NO-ONE. They were found guilty yesterday in court and are facing 11 years in jail! That includes one 80-year-old grandmother. Two members of the House were the only two who voted against a bill that would allow Hamas individuals to come to the U.S. under a Biden plan. Who were they? The White House refused to allow a speech given by then-VP Biden in Ukraine in which he demanded Ukraine's Chief Prosecutor be fired. We all know the story. This was AFTER the Obama Administration had green-lighted Prosecutor Viktor Shokin, saying he was "all right" and not corrupt. Steve Baker, along with his fleet of attorneys, held a press conference in Dallas publicly challenging the DOJ for their illegal harassment of Steve's factual revelations of lies by the Administration regarding Jan. 6. All this and more are included in today's show. Don't miss it!

Gurbir Grewal has been the Director of the Enforcement Division at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission since 2001.  Prior to that, he had the distinction of being the first Sikh American to be Attorney General in any of the fifty states, and only the second South Asian to hold such an office after the former Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris.  Gurbir was the Chief Prosecutor of Bergen County in New Jersey, and before that the Head of the Economic Crimes Unit in the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey.  Justin and Gurbir sat down for a “fireside chat” at the annual White Collar Conference of the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (PACDL).  The episode was recorded in front of a live audience, with PACDL's permission.

This week in law, we have seen a very unusual charge out of the United Kingdom. A hockey player has died as a result of a collision on the ice, where the skate from the opposing player hit him in the neck and ultimately led to his death. Prosecutors in the UK have charged Matt Petgrave, the other player, with manslaughter. I describe what manslaughter is supposed to mean, and how it might apply in this case. Other cases being covered this week are the closing of the Cameron Ortis trial, the Nathanial Veltman terrorism verdict, the verdict in the murder trial of U.S. cyclist Moriah Wilson, the Supreme Court of Canada's rejection of the Crown appeal of former IWK CEO Tracy Kitch, and a DUI case out of Truro where the issue of whether police can knock on a door and ask questions of the occupants. Finally, I examine the remarks of Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, who visited the southern border of the Gaza Strip. His main purpose was to put participants on notice that the ICC was watching matters closely, and were actively investigating the actions of Hamas that started the conflict.

Lee Smith believes Donald Trump was the best foreign policy President this country has had in a century. He tells a story described by Amb. Rick Grenell. Trump planned to host the Presidents of Serbia and Kosovo at the White House to negotiate a peace accord. But weeks before the meeting, the Chief Prosecutor for the International Court in The Hague, Jack Smith, had the President of Kosovo arrested and jailed with no clear criminal evidence. Now, as Special Counsel, Smith is targeting President Trump and his aides. This is the Special Counsel selected by Merrick Garland. He interfered in political systems of European countries to jail a foreign President. If people don't think he's looking to do the same thing to President Trump on behalf of Joe Biden's DOJ, they're fooling themselves. This is what Smith does. Ukraine is the place where Biden family corruption intersects with defense industry corruption. This is what Trump was fighting and these are the same people still fighting Donald Trump. The people hunting America First supporters are partnering with our adversaries in Iran and China. We've seen how Joe Biden passed $16B to the Iranians, an anti-American regime and the leading sponsor of terror in the world. The Biden Admin. also keeps pushing money to China. They say we have to appease the Chinese unless we want to go to war with china. And on our southern border, they're working with the cartels, our foreign adversaries. We're dealing with a very sick, pathologically warped establishment right now.GUEST: LEE SMITH, AUTHOR AND JOURNALISTSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a twist of fate that reads more like a thriller novel than reality, Kouri Richins, a children's book author from Utah, is facing accusations of murdering her husband, Eric Richins. Known for her book "Are You With Me?", which deals with childhood grief, the author has become the center of a sensational true crime story. The book, inspired by her husband's death, was intended to guide children through the process of grief. However, the tale has taken a dark turn as Kouri stands accused of orchestrating Eric's death. With the trial ongoing, one question that haunts the public and investigators alike is, "How long was Kouri Richins allegedly planning on murdering her husband?" Court documents reveal that Eric Richins died of a fentanyl overdose on March 4, 2022. A year later, Kouri was arrested and charged with first-degree aggravated murder and three counts of second-degree drug possession with intent to distribute. The plot began to unfold when Kouri's housekeeper, Carmen Marie Lauber, admitted to supplying Kouri with fentanyl, a powerful opioid. Lauber claimed to have sold Kouri two batches of 15 to 30 fentanyl pills each, about a month before Eric's death, with each transaction costing around $900. Further adding to the shocking narrative, Kouri's search history, discovered during the investigation, showed queries such as "luxury prison for the rich" and details on death certificates. The evidence suggested meticulous planning, hinting at the timeline extending to at least a month prior to Eric's demise. Notably, the couple had financial disputes and disagreements over purchasing a multi-million-dollar mansion. Moreover, Kouri allegedly made significant changes to the family's estate plans before Eric's death, including taking out life insurance policies on him amounting to nearly $2 million. The defense argues for an alternative theory suggesting that Eric, described as a "partier," could have died from escalating drug and alcohol use. However, the amount of fentanyl found in his system, reportedly five times the lethal dose, led the Chief Prosecutor to comment, "That is a lot. That is someone who wanted Eric dead." The case, which has garnered attention due to its complexity and the high-profile status of the accused, continues to evolve, with Kouri Richins firmly in the spotlight. The tragic irony is not lost on observers, as a book intended to guide children through grief may have been inspired by a premeditated crime. As Kouri remains behind bars awaiting trial, the world watches on, keen to understand the full timeline of this chilling story of alleged planned murder hidden behind the veil of grief. It is a sobering reminder that the truth can sometimes be stranger, and darker, than fiction. Stay tuned for more updates on Kouri Richins' trial as investigators continue to unravel the grim timeline of the alleged murder plot.

The case, which has garnered attention due to its complexity and the high-profile status of the accused, continues to evolve, with Kouri Richins firmly in the spotlight. The tragic irony is not lost on observers, as a book intended to guide children through grief may have been inspired by a premeditated crime. As Kouri remains behind bars awaiting trial, the world watches on, keen to understand the full timeline of this chilling story of alleged planned murder hidden behind the veil of grief. It is a sobering reminder that the truth can sometimes be stranger, and darker, than fiction. Stay tuned for more updates on Kouri Richins' trial as investigators continue to unravel the grim timeline of the alleged murder plot.

We look at the effect of being a victim in high-profile cases, after the BBC suspends a presenter accused of paying a teenager for sexually explicit photos. Nuala speaks to former Chief Prosecutor for the CPS, Nazir Afzal. Ruchira Gupta is a journalist, social justice activist and Emmy-award winning documentary maker who has dedicated her life to fighting for the rights of women and young girls. She is the founder of Apne Aap Women Worldwide, an anti-sex trafficking organisation that has helped thousands of girls and women in India leave a life of forced prostitution. She joins Nuala to discuss her work and her debut novel, ‘I Kick and I Fly', which tells the story of a 14-year-old girl called Heera as she tries to escape the fate of women in her community who are sold into the sex trade. New research has found a rise in vulnerable women dying prematurely in North East England. The report by the charities Changing Lives and Agenda Alliance says that a woman in North East England in 2021 was 1.7 times more likely to die early because of addiction, suicide or murder by a partner or family member than women in the rest of England and Wales. Nuala discusses the findings with Laura McIntyre, the head of women and children's services at Changing Lives. According to the ONS, only 2.4% of plumbers are women. Nuala speaks to two female plumbers about why that figure is so low and whether they recommend the job to other women. Nuala speaks to Sovay Berriman, who runs the company PlumbMaid and is based in Cornwall, and Lysette Hacking, who worked as a plumber for six years before becoming a lecturer in plumbing at Calderdale College in Halifax in Yorkshire. In April, the Spanish actress Ana Obregón made headlines when she revealed she was a mother again at 68 years of age. A week later, in a glossy photoshoot for ¡Hola! Magazine, she explained that the baby was actually her granddaughter - born via surrogacy using her dead son's sperm. Journalist Patricia Clarke, from Tortoise Media, has been following the story for her podcast, 'Modern Family: I Had My Dead Son's Baby at 68'. She tells Nuala the impact the story has had in Spain. Presented by Nuala McGovern Producer: Louise Corley

Our Guest today is Wendy Crewson Wendy Crewson was the recipient of a star on Canada's Walk of Fame in 2015; and the Earle Grey Award, given to fewer than 32 collective recipients since 1986, in recognition by the ACCT and the Canadian Entertainment Industry, for Lifetime Achievement in Television. One of Canada's premier actresses, Wendy Crewson has garnered critical and popular acclaim, as well as multiple awards, for her extensive body of work in film and television. Her resume features more than 100 titles, including credits like: Sarah Polley's indie feature AWAY FROM HER; THE VOW, with Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum; the Winnie Mandela biopic WINNIE, alongside Jennifer Hudson and Terrance Howard; THE SANTA CLAUSE trilogy opposite Tim Allen; THE CLEARING, with Robert Redford; Eduardo Ponti's BETWEEN STRANGERS, with Sophia Loren; THE LAST BRICKMAKER IN AMERICA, with Sidney Poitier; BICENTENNIAL MAN with Robin Williams; THE SIXTH DAY with Arnold Schwarzenegger; and of course, her role as Harrison Ford's First Lady in AIR FORCE ONE. Throughout her illustrious career, Wendy has amassed more nominations and awards in Canada than any other actress for portraying real women. These are some of her most wellregarded roles and they include: Sue Rodriguez (who went all the way to The Supreme Court of Canada to fight Doctor Assisted suicide while fighting ALS); “Jane Doe” (who made legal history when she sued the police for negligence after being the fifth victim of a serial rapist and realizing that the police knew details and had done nothing to prevent further rapes); Lorraine Evenshen (who tells the story from her own perspective as the wife of popular CFL star Terry Evanshen, who lost his memory after waking up from a coma caused by a car crash); and finally, Louise Arbour (who as the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for both the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda, made history with the first indictment of a sitting head of state, for war crimes, the first conviction for genocide and the first to recognize sexual crimes as crimes against humanity). Wendy starred in five seasons of CTV's hit medical drama SAVING HOPE, for which she won Best Actress in a Featured Supporting Role at the 2013 CSAs. Wendy was also in the critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated film, ROOM with Brie Larson; and appeared opposite Ellen Page in Patricia Rozema's INTO THE FOREST. Wendy was recently seen in the films KODACHROME, with Ed Harris and Jason Sudeikis; DEATH WISH with Bruce Willis.; and director Mimi Leder's timely feature, ON THE BASIS OF SEX. On the small screen, Wendy recently starred on CBS's hit medical drama, GOOD SAM; CBC's popular series FRANKIE DRAKE; in addition to the Hallmark series, WHEN HOPE CALLS; while also shooting the second season of DEPARTURE for Peacock/Global; and her recurring role on TITANS for HBO Max. Before that, she starred in the CTV/ION series THE DETAIL, for which she was nominated for a 2019 CSA. She also recurred in the AMC series THE SON, opposite Pierce Brosnan; and in THE OCTOBER FACTION for Netflix. Wendy continues to be as busy as ever. She joined the cast of CBC's hit procedural, PRETTY HARD CASES for its final season, while also shooting in the highly anticipated series GRAY, opposite Patricia Clarkson. Next, she appears in the independent films BACKSPOT, from director D.W. Waterson; and SAM opposite Elliot Page. We dived right in and started our conversation with the all-consuming fear of ‘coming out' --and we ended – appropriately, with her sense of belonging in a community and industry that she is so passionate about.

Prosecutor Melissa Powers has been knocking down walls her whole career. As the first female Prosecuting Attorney in the history of Hamilton County, Ohio (Cincinnati), she holds the highest law enforcement position in the city. But that's just the start. From getting a confession from a serial killer, to taking the stand to break a 17 year-old cold case, to fighting for veterans and juveniles, Prosecutor Powers has truly given her life to serving the public. She's an inspiring woman of high ideals and accessible wisdom who will push your life forward. 

The official civilian death toll from Russia's war on Ukraine now stands at 8,317 – but the reality is that number is likely far higher. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken describes the “massive death and destruction” caused by Russian war crimes, as the State Department report on human rights highlights indiscriminate attacks on civilians and credible reports of execution, torture and rape. The International Criminal Court has just issued a warrant for Putin's arrest over the case of forcibly deported Ukrainian children, and their chief prosecutor joins Christiane in London.  Also on today's show: Neda Sharghi, sister of Emad Shargi, American detained in Iran; Sarah McCammon, NPR National Correspondent; John Kirby, NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Interview with Chief Prosecutor Dan Guzynski 02-10-23

It was announced this week that the city of Toledo would be getting a new chief prosecutor — and her name is Rebecca Facey. She previously worked as an assistant prosecuting attorney for Lucas County, and joins me on this week's Community Focus. Originally Aired: January 8, 2023

President Biden and world leaders are condemning Russia's massive missile strikes against Ukraine and have vowed to continue supporting its fight for freedom. The strikes are viewed as Russia's revenge for the downing of parts of the key bridge linking Crimea to the Russian mainland, as well as weeks of Ukrainian gains on the battlefield. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has cut short a tour of Africa where he was appealing for the continent's support, and he joins the show to discuss.  Also on today's show: Karim Khan, Chief Prosecutor, International Criminal Court; Yeganeh Rezaian, Senior Researcher, Committee to Protect Journalists; Astead Herndon; national politics reporter, New York Times.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

The Black Spy Podcast A sit down with Nazir Afzal - The first Muslim CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) Chief Prosecutor in England & Wales This week Carlton King explores the life and times of Nazir Afzal, the renowned first Muslim Chief Prosecutor of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in England & Wales' (North West Region). The nearest equivalent body to the CPS in the United States is the District Attorney's office. We also learn about Nazir's tough up-bring in inner city Birmingham in the 1970's, his distrust of the police and other English institutions of state in the era and the depth of feeling this created within the young Nazir. We are made to understand why he decided to become a lawyer, rather than the doctor or engineer his parents hoped he'd become. And we learn about Nazir's journey into prosecuting on behalf of the British state. We also, discuss the all encompassing racism Nazir was subjected to from his very early life onward, to his somewhat more comfortable rise to the top of his profession. Finally, the men discuss a plethora of current and systemic problems suffered by the contemporary British state. Carlton points out that the CPS very rarely takes responsibility for its decisions and cites the Stephen Lawrence case as a prime example of this, noting that after Stephen Lawrence's murder the Met police within ten days had arrested four suspects, however, the crown prosecution service told police that in their opinion, their was not enough evidence to gain a conviction at court therefore police would have to release them! The suspects would all remain free for several years thereafter. The Met police would suffer greatly for not having arrested Stephen's murderers and were taunted as incompetent and institutionally racist. However, the CPS who prevented the four suspects taken to trial, took none of the blame or derision for the several year hiatus in bringing the very same suspects to trial of whom three would be found guilty. However, solely the Met Police have taken the blame for not closing the case quickly, when those at fault were the CPS. Carlton challenges Nazir to explain this anomaly! Consequently, as you can see, this is obviously another must hear Black Spy Podcast episode.

This Monday, in a New York courtroom, a pre-trial hearing began. The complainant was Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the defendant was Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. She alleges that when aged 17, she was introduced to the Prince by paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein - and forced to have sex with him. Award-winning crime writer Stephen Wright digs into this remarkable case with the help of a panel of experts including Nazir Afzal, a former Chief Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service and expert on historical sex abuse cases, Dai Davies, ex head of the Metropolitan Police's Royalty Protection Squad and Mail journalist Daniel Bates who is based in New York - and reported on the pre-trial hearing this week. What dangers lay ahead for the Duke, who denies any wrongdoing, and for how much longer can Scotland Yard delay launching a formal probe into Ms Giuffre's allegations?

We're back with another round of discussion and debate featuring co-hosts Steve Vladeck and Bobby Chesney, working through the latest national security law developments. Tune in for: The end of the decade-long run of General Mark Martins as Chief Prosecutor at GTMO The interagency debate within the Biden Administration regarding whether to concede that the Due Process Clause applies to GTMO detainees (either in the habeas context or more broadly), in connection with the al-Hela litigation currently pending before the en banc D.C. Circuit Interstate deployments (without federalization) of state national guard forces, and the state-level separation-of-powers issues arguably raised by private funding of NG activities OLC's opinion on the removal power New life for the US effort to extradite Julian Assange from the UK Donald Trump attempting to invoke the First Amendment as the basis for a civil action challenging the actions of (private) social-media companies Brief notes on the parallel between the so-far-unsuccessful efforts to deter both attacks on US forces in Iraq and ransomware attacks emanating from Russia And as always, there's much frivolity both at the start and the finish!

This episode is devoted to discussing the evolution of international criminal justice since 1945 with former founding Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Luis Moreno-Ocampo. The conversation centers on the ICC's development and limitations. In addition, he discusses the Global War on Terror, particularly the US policy of killing of those deemed “enemy combatants” in other sovereign states and the legal, moral, and political implications. Moreno-Ocampo also discusses his current collaboration with CCNY's Human Rights Forum and gives a brief description of his seminar “Global Narratives of Crime, War, and Justice.”

Last month, after months of jockeying for influence, member states of the International Criminal Court held a secret ballot to determine the court’s next chief prosecutor. The winner was Karim Khan, a British lawyer with extensive experience on both the prosecutorial and defense side of international criminal cases. Khan will be only the third person to hold the job.  He will take over from the current chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, at a time when the ICC faces some difficult questions about what kind of institution it will be. This week on Trend Lines, WPR’s Elliot Waldman is joined by Kyle Rapp, a doctoral candidate specializing in international law at the University of Southern California, to discuss Khan’s vision for the ICC and the difficult balancing act he will be faced with in his new role.   Relevant Articles on WPR: An ICC Investigation Into War Crimes Is Key to Securing Peace in Afghanistan The International Criminal Court Is in Danger of Being Bullied Into Irrelevance The ICC Is Flawed.

Despite the law making it mandatory, it's not uncommon to find people wandering around supermarkets without wearing a face mask. Now the big store bosses are being summoned to a meeting with government officials and the police to discuss why. An agenda for the meeting seen by the Evening Standard says it will be an attempt to find ways to “collectively promote compliance” with the rules. Our city editor, Jim Armitage, tells us retailers say they don't have the powers to "put shoppers in a half nelson and march them out the store" if they don't wear a mask. But as the sector is one of the few making large profits during the pandemic, some are asking if shops are putting profits before safety? Also, the first black male chief crown prosecutor in the Crown Prosecution Service's history has told the Evening Standard he does not want to be perceived as a “poster boy” and is vowing to bring about real change. Lionel Idan, whose team convicted two of Stephen Lawrence's racist killers in 2012, grew up in Ghana where his father lectured in art and literature. He's spoken to our crime correspondent Anthony France, who says the appointment comes not a moment too soon amid calls for compulsory anti-racism training at every level of our legal system.

Moe Davis is a retired Air Force Colonel, Director of the Air Force Judiciary and former Chief Prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay. Col. Davis has been a law professor, judge, speaker, writer, and national security expert for Congress. He graduated from Appalachian State and North Carolina Central School of Law. Shortly after he passed the bar exam, his father died of a heart attack. In part to honor his father, Davis decided to join the Air Force, the start of a 25-year career of service in the military. In 2007, while serving as Chief Prosecutor for Terrorism Trials at Guantanamo Bay, Col. Davis dared to publicly take on the Bush Administration. He refused an order to use evidence obtained through torture, believing it was both immoral and illegal and the evidence unreliable. That decision came at a price; to uphold his principles and maintain his oath, Col. Davis had no choice but to resign his prestigious position as Chief Prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay. For his stand against torture and the political pressure placed on prosecutors at Guantanamo, the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) honored Col. Davis by including him in, “Those Who Dared: 30 Officials Who Stood Up For Our Country.” That was not the last time Col. Davis stood up for what he believed was right. In 2009, after retiring from the Air Force, he was working as an assistant director and senior specialist in national security for the Congressional Research Service at the Library of Congress. But when he wrote an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal that was critical of the Obama Administration’s handling of prosecutions at Guantanamo Bay, Col. Davis was fired. Col. Davis is currently running for election to the U.S. House to represent North Carolina's 11th Congressional District.

I've been following @ColMorrisDavis on Twitter for many years and have been a fan of his for as long. I was impressed that he was the Chief Prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay, and resigned in protest of George W. Bush's torture policy. He's a retired Air Force Colonel who spent his adult life in service to his country. He's now the Democratic nominee in the congressional race from North Carolina's 11th District to replace Mark Meadows. He's my very special guest on the show today. As usual, we'll begin with the latest news and national insanity, and a bit of humor to add some levity to the hour!

In May, French authorities arrested Felicien Kabuga after a 26-year manhunt for his alleged role in the Rwandan genocide. Kabuga was indicted before the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda on seven counts of genocide, conspiracy, and related crimes for importing and supplying thousands of machetes to the militias that led the killing spree, as well as for broadcasting propaganda urging mass slaughter. A quarter-century later, what will prosecutors be trying to show the court? What difficulties are they likely to encounter introducing evidence that old? What is it like to hunt for a fugitive for decades, and what does Kabuga's capture tell us in retrospect about how he was able to run for so long? Please join the Honorable Hassan Jallow, Eli Rosenbaum, and Arthur Traldi for an engaging conversation about the apprehension of one of the world's most wanted fugitives, and the case against him. The discussion will be moderated by Adam Pearlman.

In the weeks since George Floyd was killed by police officers in Minneapolis, we’ve been watching uprisings take place against police brutality. What many Americans have finally woken up to is what Black Americans have known for years: That it’s impossible to separate police brutality from the racism that is baked into the structure of every American institution. Institutions, like schools, healthcare, housing, and policing have failed to give Black Americans a level playing field.  99 years ago, Tulsa, Oklahoma was the site of one of the deadliest and most destructive race massacres in U.S. history. On that day, violent white people took it upon themselves to murder Black Americans and loot their businesses. Black homes, churches, restaurants, drugstores, and doctors offices were razed. In the end, Black Wall Street, one of the most prosperous Black communities, was destroyed.  At a time when Americans are grappling with the role white supremacy played in shaping modern society, President Donald Trump chose to hold a rally in Tulsa during the weekend of Juneteenth. We take look at how the holiday resonates differently this year.  Guests:  Karlos K. Hill, Chair of the African and African American studies department at the University of Oklahoma RJ Young, Host of the RJ Young Show. Excerpts from his audio diary were provided to us by KOSU. RJ's story is part of the America Amplified initiative.    How Progressive District Attorneys Are Approaching Criminal Justice Reform It’s been almost a month since George Floyd was brutally killed by police officers in Minneapolis. Protester's demands for police accountability have not waned, forcing officials to address the role of racism in policing and policy. As calls to defund the police grow louder, mayors, police chiefs, and local law enforcement step into the spotlight. At the same time, officials that attempt to reprimand officers for misconduct must face the wrath of powerful police unions. We speak with Kimberly Gardner, the Chief Prosecutor for the City of St. Louis, who was elected on the promise of reform on what it's like to go toe-to-toe with the police.  Guest: Kimberly Gardner, Chief Prosecutor for the city of St. Louis    How the Economy Fails Black Americans Not only has the coronavirus pandemic disproportionately hurt Black Americans who've been infected at a higher rate, but the economic uncertainty it's created has set them back in terms of employment. Black Americans are concentrated in parts of the economy that have been designated as essential, like grocery store workers and transit operators. Still, Black unemployment almost tripled from February to May to almost 17 percent. Today, Black households have one-tenth of the wealth compared to white families and are much less likely to own their homes. Historically, recovering from recessions is tougher for Black people. We sit down for a conversation about the unemployment rate for Black Americans and what an economic recovery might look like. Guest: Amara Omeokwe, Economics Reporter at The Wall Street Journal

Let's also look at a subject that the news media has oftentimes been reluctant to fully cover, which is Hunter Biden and his serving as a director on Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company. We've asked a few questions over the last couple of months. We've done a pretty thorough battery here, because given that what you see in most stories is that there's no evidence of corruption, I wanted to see here, what did the American people really think about this. And we asked them, have you heard anything about Hunter Biden serving as a director of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company? 66% of the public, still 34% who hadn't heard?We asked them, what do you think the compensation was? Nothing 14%; a few thousand dollars 14%; about a hundred thousand dollars 31%; 42% said more than a million. In fact, it was considerably more than a million. Even our own question previously didn't have the correct number as high as the compensation actually was. So most people, 68%, don't understand the level of compensation.Do you think that Hunter Biden was qualified or unqualified for this job? 59% say unqualified. Do you think that Hunter Biden got the job because of his father's position or his own merit? 72% believe that he got this job because of his father's position; 28% own merit. So while people are a little fuzzy about how much money was involved, they are pretty clear that he is accepting a job here based on the job that his father had. Unquestionable clear public opinion.Hunter Biden received millions for services as a director of Burisma, while his father, Vice President, was in charge of Ukraine policy. Do you think this is evidence of corruption or not evidence of corruption? 54% say just his receiving those millions of dollars given his father's position is evidence of corruption. The interesting thing here is that many stories say there's no evidence of any corruption. Most voters would disagree with that position. It doesn't mean that that's definitive evidence or proof that there is corruption. Quite the contrary. That's not what the question asks. And many of these statements also that appear in news stories, don't say, Hey, there's some evidence, but nothing definitive. They say there's no evidence. Most people would think that millions of dollars that went to somebody's son for a job that they say they weren't qualified for at least is evidence worthy of investigation. And do you think this merits further investigation or does not merit further investigation? 58% say merits further investigation; 42% does not merit investigation.Interesting. At the time that he was Vice President, Joe Biden demanded that the Ukraine fire its Chief Prosecutor or the United States would withhold $1 billion of aid to Ukraine. Was this action appropriate or inappropriate? Remember, most people thought that president Trump's actions inappropriate. 64% also thought that this action by Vice President Joe Biden was inappropriate. 64% inappropriate, 34% appropriate.Do you think Joe Biden holding up Ukraine aid at the time his son was receiving millions from Ukrainian company is just a conspiracy theory to be dismissed or a serious matter to be investigated further? 57% say it's a serious matter; 43% say it's a conspiracy theory to be dismissed. Again, I'm not suggesting and nor did these questions suggest in any way, guilt or innocence. What they suggest is that these contracts do provide a level of smoke that people say should properly be investigated and shouldn't be dismissed as something not to really look at or get a good explanation on. Doesn't mean there isn't a good explanation; doesn't mean that they were not absolutely correct in everything that was done, but this is what public opinion is and how it stands when they're asked these questions specifically about these arrangements.

David Crane has dedicated his professional life to intelligence and security issues both nationally and internationally. He has a long history of service and has risked his life for his country. But, at this point, he is extremely concerned about how President Trump in handling intelligence and security issues. Crane says that Trump ignores or refuses to hear security briefings and he goes into major foreign policy events (like the meetings with Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un) grossly unprepared. In fact, Crane says Trump treats the meetings more like “reality television” instead of diplomatic summits. As a result of the President’s negative views on “intelligence,” Crane paints a rather dismal picture of where the United States is in world politics. According to Crane, America is withdrawing from the world stage and relinquishing its role as a world power. America is at its weakest point since its war for independence, Crane notes. Crane also in the podcast explains the rights of federal employees not to be fired without due process and just cause and explains the issues surrounding revoking of “security clearances.” Again, he cites the President’s actions as being more “theater” than “substance.” Historically, the Congress and the House and Senate oversight committees on “intelligence” acted as checks and balances against abuses of Presidential power. However, Crane sadly reports that the House Intelligence Committee has abdicated that role and instead is doing the bidding of the President. He also finds danger in the President demanding unswerving loyalty and allegiance to himself instead of the Constitution. Crane notes that the oath of office of any federal employee swears allegiance to the Constitution and not to a particular leader. He claims that President Trump either does not have the “intellectual capacity or the depth to understand that.” Crane also notes that the national and international “rule of law” is threatened by this President. The President “does not believe in the rule of law” and “sees it as a hindrance,” Crane says. Crane currently is the Ohio Glidden Visiting Professor at Ohio University in 2018-2019. He is a security specialist and international lawyer. He spent over 30 years in top-level intelligence work for the government. He also helped create and was the founding director of the Office of Intelligence Review for the Department of Defense. From 2002 to 2005, Crane was the Chief Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone. This was an international war crimes tribunal that brought Liberian President Charles Taylor to justice for horrific crimes. For the past decade, Crane has been a Professor of Practice at the Syracuse University College of Law teaching international criminal law, international humanitarian law and national security law. Crane received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Ohio University and his law degree from Syracuse University. He received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from Ohio University in 2017.

Luis Moreno Ocampo, former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, delivers a talk at Facing History and Ourselves’ Day of Learning: Confronting Evil in Individuals and Societies. Moreno Ocampo describes the importance of international law in preventing atrocities by illustrating examples, including the trials at Nuremburg and the Junta Trial in Argentina. He explains that the role of law in society is to clarify limits of behavior and provide incentives to behave well.

Peter Allen spoke to Nazir Afzal. He's just stood down as one of the country's chief prosecutors. He's been involved in some of the UK's biggest criminal cases of recent times, including the conviction of 9 Asian men for the sexual abuse of 47 young girls in Rochdale, and the prosecution of Stuart Hall on sex offences. Peter asked him about those cases - and also about his fears of a so called "Easter Exodus" as pupils who may have been radicalised head for Syria to fight for ISIS..

Twelve years ago the International Criminal Court was set up to be the scourge of war criminals and mass killers everywhere - there would be no more impunity for the worst of crimes. How does the court's record stack up against that grand ambition? Thus far all of its cases have come from Africa, and just two convictions have been handed down from the Hague. Hardtalk speaks to Luis Moreno-Ocampo, who was the ICC's chief prosecutor for a decade. Why has the court failed to deliver on its promise?Picture: Luis Moreno Ocampo, Credit: Larry Busacca/Getty Images

Peace and security are international public goods, but have traditionally been the preserve of state actors. This is changing. An increasingly vocal global civil society is emerging, as new challenges and conflicts test conventional, state-based approaches to preventing and resolving war. Civil society actors now play multiple roles in maintaining peace and security – early warning, identifying neglected conflicts, formulating policy responses, mobilizing public opinion, even directly assisting peace talks. Philanthropy has proven indispensable to civil society’s influence and its ability to pursue a global public good. Louise Arbour will examine public interest diplomacy, and the crucial roles of civil society and philanthropy in maintaining peace and security. Before being named President CEO of the International Crisis Group, she served as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, as well as the Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda.
