Podcasts about karim khan

Host Ryan Goodman is joined by guests Rebecca Hamilton and Alex Whiting, experts with deep experience in the practice and study of international criminal law, to discuss the recent vote by states to remove Karim Khan as Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, effective immediately, for sexual misconduct against a junior staff member. They discuss what this investigation – and its defense – has meant for the ICC as an institution and for its ongoing cases, and what comes next for the ICC and its members.Show Notes:https://www.justsecurity.org/149478/future-international-criminal-court/https://www.justsecurity.org/148713/icc-prosecutor-removal-vote/https://www.justsecurity.org/125682/new-icc-prosecutor-regardless-un-report/And for all of Just Security's coverage of the ICC, see:https://www.justsecurity.org/tag/international-criminal-court/

Der IStGH/ICC hat schon mal bessere Zeiten erlebt: Donald Trump respektive sein Außenminister Marco Rubio wollen ihn "auseinandernehmen" ("dismantle"), haben Sanktionen verhängt und setzen andere Staaten unter Druck, aus dem Römer Statut auszusteigen. Obendrein wurde der Ankläger Karim Khan seines Amts enthoben. Anlass genug, mal wieder mit Astrid Reisinger Coracini zu sprechen: Dass das Völkerstrafrecht mehr ist als der ICC, die USA schon lange ein Problem mit ihm haben und die Amtsenthebung von Karim Khan nichts an den Haftbefehlen für Benjamin Netanjahu und Yoav Gallant ändern.

Karim Khan a été officiellement démis de ses fonctions de procureur général de la Cour pénale internationale pour « faute grave » et « manquement grave aux devoirs de sa charge », à l'issue d'un vote à bulletin secret tenu lors d'une réunion exceptionnelle et à huis-clos au siège de l'ONU à New York. Sur 110 États participants, 82 ont approuvé sa révocation, au moins 63 voix étant nécessaires. En poste depuis 2021, Karim Khan est visé par des accusations d'agression sexuelle émanant d'une membre de son équipe, qu'il conteste, estimant ne pas avoir pu se défendre correctement devant l'Assemblée et dénonçant une « pression politique immense » sur la Cour. Pourquoi ses avocats accusent-ils l'Assemblée de la CPI de ne pas avoir respecté les règles ? Alors que le Premier ministre Benyamin Netanyahu a salué cette décision, le mandat d'arrêt émis à son encontre peut-il être remis en cause ? Avec Stéphanie Maupas, correspondante de RFI à La Haye. 

O Chade anunciou esta semana a decisão de sair do Tribunal Penal Internacional, alegando a eficácia limitada da instituição e uma actuação excessivamente centrada em África. A decisão surge depois de a Venezuela também ter anunciado o abandono do TPI, numa altura em que o procurador Karim Khan foi afastado na sequência de alegações de conduta sexual imprópria, acusações que o próprio nega. André Thomas, professor jubilado de Direito Internacional e Direito Constitucional da Universidade da África do Sul, em Pretória, considera que estas saídas eram previsíveis e reflectem a urgência de as Nações Unidas reformarem o Tribunal Penal Internacional, que, na sua opinião, se tornou num instrumento de justiça ao serviço dos interesses da União Europeia. O que representa a saída do Chade do Tribunal Penal Internacional? Penso que este é o início de um êxodo. Muitos outros países poderão seguir o mesmo caminho e abandonar o Tribunal Penal Internacional. Além disso, como sabemos, os Estados Unidos estão determinados a contribuir para o enfraquecimento, ou mesmo o eventual encerramento, do Tribunal Penal Internacional. Falámos aqui da saída do Chade, mas a Venezuela também já disse que vai sair. Poderá haver aqui uma certa pressão do Presidente dos EUA, quando se sabe que a presidente interina, Delcy Rodríguez, é muito próxima de Donald Trump, Este novo mundo depende essencialmente de cinco pessoas: o Presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump; o Presidente da China, Xi Jinping; o primeiro-ministro da Índia; e, possivelmente, também o rei da Arábia Saudita. São estas as potências que, na minha perspectiva, exercem maior influência e determinam o rumo dos acontecimentos no mundo. Desde que chegou à Casa Branca, Donald Trump anunciou que pretendia desmantelar o Tribunal Penal Internacional (TPI). Estes anúncios de saída surgem numa altura em que os 125 Estados Partes do TPI se preparam para votar a destituição do procurador Karim Khan, acusado de conduta sexual imprópria. Karim Khan nega as acusações. Pode falar-se de uma tentativa de amordaçar o TPI, precisamente quando este passou a centrar a sua atenção também no Ocidente, emitindo acusações, nomeadamente contra o primeiro-ministro de Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, por alegados crimes cometidos em Gaza, e investigando ainda alegados crimes cometidos por militares norte-americanos no Afeganistão? O Tribunal Penal Internacional tem sido, desde a sua criação, uma instituição muito controversa. Foi uma iniciativa europeia e é financiado, em grande medida, pelos Estados Partes, entre os quais se encontram os Estados da União Europeia, que constituem uma parte significativa do seu orçamento. O trabalho do TPI tem sido desenvolvido por pessoas que se auto-intitulam juízes, mas que, na minha opinião, não possuem as qualificações jurídicas adequadas. São nomeadas pelos Estados Partes, num processo em que as preferências políticas dos Estados desempenham um papel relevante. Os alvos do TPI têm sido, em grande medida, dirigentes africanos e outras personalidades que, na perspectiva de alguns críticos, não representam uma ameaça significativa para o Tribunal. O Tribunal admite determinados tipos de prova, incluindo prova indirecta, cuja admissibilidade é regulada pelo seu Estatuto e pelas respectivas regras processuais. Além disso, entendo que o sistema de recursos é insuficiente para assegurar plenamente os direitos dos arguidos. Na minha perspectiva, deveria existir um mecanismo de recurso mais amplo, garantindo uma dupla apreciação das decisões, como sucede em muitos sistemas judiciais nacionais. Das investigações abertas pelo Tribunal Penal Internacional, desde a sua entrada em vigor, nove dizem respeito a Estados africanos. O Chade diz que abandona esta instituição porque existe uma justiça de geometria variável. Estes argumentos são válidos? Sempre considerei a criação do TPI demasiado política. Pretendia, na realidade, dar uma força brutal à política externa da União Europeia, castigando aqueles que eram considerados um obstáculo aos objectivos políticos europeus. E pretendendo que não existem outros criminosos. Há criminosos terríveis neste mundo em relação aos quais o TPI nunca sequer ponderou actuar. Basta falar do Irão, onde regularmente são executadas raparigas de 14 ou 16 anos, após serem chicoteadas em público. São coisas absolutamente horrorosas. Como é que se justifica essa falha do TPI? Penso que sempre houve oportunismo por parte da pessoa encarregada de instaurar os processos, ultimamente o senhor Karim Khan. Já há anos se falava das alegadas vítimas dos seus abusos sexuais. Não é novidade nenhuma. Mesmo assim, manteve-se em funções e começou a emitir mandados de captura contra presidentes e chefes de governo, como o primeiro-ministro Netanyahu, o que, em si, constitui um abuso do Direito Internacional, porque uma das regras mais antigas do Direito Internacional é a imunidade absoluta de um rei ou de um Presidente enquanto estiver no exercício das suas funções. A existência do Tribunal Penal Internacional está ameaçada? Qual será o futuro desta organização? Penso que vai desaparecer, porque os países estão cansados de uma autoridade que se autoproclama detentora da autoridade moral do mundo. Os Estados têm igual direito à soberania, que é o fundamento das relações internacionais e das Nações Unidas, bem como o princípio da igualdade entre os Estados. A maior parte dos países não tolera que um pequeno grupo de países - os países europeus - assuma a responsabilidade de julgar o resto do mundo apenas porque este não obedece às regras da democracia multipartidária europeia. Nem a China, nem a Índia, nem a Rússia, nem a maioria dos países da Ásia o fazem. Assim, será muito difícil haver futuro para este tribunal. A única possibilidade será uma reforma profunda do TPI, sob a responsabilidade do Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas. Isso, sim, é uma possibilidade. Esperemos que aconteça. Eventualmente, dentro de alguns anos, poderá abrir-se esse debate. Quais seriam, na sua opinião, as reformas prioritárias? Deve ser restabelecida a imunidade absoluta dos chefes de Estado, para salvaguardar a paz internacional. Não é possível que um grupo de países determine que um chefe de Estado, eleito ou não eleito, em exercício de funções, deva ser levado a tribunal e, eventualmente, preso. Isso retiraria uma grande parte da controvérsia. De resto, têm de existir todas as garantias processuais próprias de um direito penal moderno e devem ser excluídas as chamadas provas de segunda ou terceira mão, que não são provas. Não vale a pena. Houve um tribunal especial que julgou Charles Taylor, antigo Presidente da Libéria, com base em relatos publicados por jornalistas nos jornais. Não havia qualquer prova directa. Considera que devem ser os próprios países a julgar? Essa justiça deve pertencer aos Estados? Não. Tem de ser uma justiça sob a autoridade das Nações Unidas, que é a única instituição verdadeiramente global que poderá assumir essa responsabilidade de aplicar o Direito Penal Internacional, reservado aos crimes mais graves. E é necessário ter consciência da evolução moderna do Direito Penal. Por exemplo, o TPI aceita o princípio da responsabilidade de comando. Ou seja, um comandante ou um general, que pode estar muito longe das tropas que eventualmente tenham cometido abusos contra os direitos humanos, fica pessoalmente responsabilizado perante o TPI. Parece-me uma situação algo absurda, sobretudo quando esse comandante não dispõe de meios para comunicar com as suas tropas. E isso tem acontecido. Quando diz que a reforma do TPI tem de passar pelas Nações Unidas, considera que a organização está, neste momento, em condições de a concretizar? Existe hoje uma nova multipolaridade, constituída por cinco grandes nações que detêm poder militar e capacidade nuclear. As Nações Unidas têm servido como o fórum capaz de moderar a actuação dos mais poderosos. Esperemos que, no futuro, especialmente com a influência de um novo secretário-geral, a organização possa voltar a desempenhar um papel muito activo e importante no mundo, porque estamos a assistir a uma escalada do uso da força. De repente, países pequenos e grandes começam a recorrer à força militar. Ora, foi precisamente para impedir a ameaça do uso da força e o recurso à força que as Nações Unidas foram criadas. Daí a importância de existir um Tribunal Internacional capaz de julgar os crimes num mundo cada vez mais marcado por conflitos? Absolutamente. Um Direito Penal Internacional pode ser muito importante e muito útil. Mas não se servir apenas os interesses privilegiados ou exclusivos da União Europeia. O TPI não pode continuar a funcionar como um instrumento da União Europeia. Tem de ser verdadeiramente global. Além disso, a falta de boa governação e de mecanismos eficazes de controlo ficou bem patente neste escândalo relacionado com alegados abusos de natureza sexual envolvendo uma das figuras-chave da instituição. Que vergonha!

Member states of the International Criminal Court have overwhelmingly voted to remove its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, over allegations of sexual misconduct. The British lawyer denies accusations of engaging in an improper sexual relationship with a junior staff member. Elected the ICC's third prosecutor in 2021, Khan was suspended last month. The decision to remove him was passed with 82 votes in favor. The misconduct investigation has put the institution under a glaring spotlight, intensified divisions inside it and played out alongside an unprecedented campaign to dismantle the ICC in its entirety. KAN's Mark Weiss asked Nick Kaufman, a defense counsel at the ICC, if he was surprised by Friday's decision. (Photo: AP)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The International Criminal Court, the ICC, is based in The Hague, Netherlands. Established in 2002 under the Rome Statute, the ICC is the first and only permanent international court with jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. The ICC is intended to complement, not replace, national judicial systems. It can exercise its jurisdiction only when national courts are unwilling or unable to prosecute criminals. The Court has brought charges against high-profile international leaders and in some cases has imprisoned them. Countries that are not parties to the ICC and do not recognize its jurisdiction include China, India, Russia, Israel and the United States. Recorded at the Oxford Union.

Fin mai, l'ONG Nothing2Hide organise un festival dédié à la sécurité numérique et à la protection de l'information. Dans cet épisode de « L'atelier des médias », Grégoire Pouget, directeur de l'association, nous explique pourquoi l'hégémonie de Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon ou encore Microsoft menace nos libertés et comment entamer concrètement une transition vers des outils libres et décentralisés. Plutôt que de se réunir dans un lieu unique, le festival de Nothing2Hide, du 27 au 30 mai 2026, sera décentralisé et à la fois hors ligne et en ligne. Au total, plus d'une vingtaine d'ateliers seront organisés pour mieux utiliser la technologie comme un « outil de protection de l'information pour renforcer les démocraties », pour reprendre le mantra de Nothing2Hide. Pour Grégoire Pouget, ces moments d'échange sont essentiels dans un monde où le réel et le numérique sont de plus en plus interliés. Le festival propose ainsi des formations à la cybersécurité, à l'OSINT (recherche d'information en sources ouvertes) ou encore des « install parties » pour donner une seconde vie à de vieux ordinateurs. Pourquoi sortir des GAFAM ? Au cœur de cet événement, un atelier sera intitulé « Comment sortir des Gafam ». Pour Grégoire Pouget, qui l'animera, l'urgence est d'abord politique et stratégique. La centralisation extrême des services entre les mains de quelques géants américains représente une fragilité systémique. L'invité cite notamment l'exemple du procureur général de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI), Karim Khan, dont Microsoft a coupé l'accès aux mails sous la pression de l'administration Trump. « On est extrêmement fragilisé par cette mainmise des entreprises américaines sur les services numériques », prévient-il. À cela s'ajoute le problème de la surveillance et de la marchandisation de l'intimité, illustré par des cas de transmission de données privées aux autorités dans des contextes politiques sensibles. Les alternatives : reprendre le contrôle de ses données Sortir de cet écosystème n'est pas une question de fainéantise, mais d'abord d'absence de visibilité des aternatives. Grégoire Pouget évoque l'« effet frigidaire » : nous utilisons les noms des marques (« googler », « instagrammable ») pour désigner des actions, ce qui invisibilise les alternatives existantes. Pourtant, des solutions fiables existent pour chaque usage : Messagerie instantanée : Préférer Signal (géré par une fondation) ou Element à WhatsApp. Courriels : Remplacer Gmail ou Outlook par Proton ou Tuta, qui proposent un chiffrement de bout en bout. Bureautique et Cloud : Utiliser Nextcloud pour l'hébergement de fichiers et le travail collaboratif, ou les suites de Proton et Infomaniak (kSuite). Cartographie : Adopter OpenStreetMap ou l'application mobile OsmAnd à la place de Google Maps. Systèmes mobiles : Explorer des versions dé-googlisées d'Android comme e/OS ou GrapheneOS. Un investissement pour l'avenir Si la gratuité apparente des GAFAM est séduisante, elle a un prix caché : chaque utilisateur rapporterait environ 160 dollars par an à Google via ses données, rappelle Grégoire Pouget. Il invite donc à investir dans des services payants ou à soutenir des démarches plus saines : « Investir dans des solutions libres et décentralisées, c'est comme planter un arbre. Ça prend du temps, mais ça porte ses fruits sur le long terme. » La gendarmerie française, passée sous Linux il y a 20 ans, aurait ainsi économisé 500 millions d'euros. Reprendre sa souveraineté numérique est donc un choix éthique, mais aussi un pari économique qui peut s'avérer gagnant pour la société.

SCHEDULE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 4-28-26.1900 BOSPHORUS1. HEADLINE: Kevin Warsh's Nomination to the Federal Reserve GUEST: Elizabeth Peek SUMMARY: Elizabeth Peek discusses Kevin Warsh's nomination as Federal Reserve Chair, characterizing him as an inflation hawk who intends to revamp the Fed's communication and narrow its mandate. Warsh aims to shrink the $7 trillion balance sheet and divorce the institution from political influence to ensure long-term monetary stability.2. HEADLINE: New York City's E-bike Enforcement Controversy GUEST: Elizabeth Peek SUMMARY: Elizabeth Peek criticizes NYC's decision to replace criminal summonses with civil penalties for e-bike violations. She argues this "virtue signaling" protects undocumented immigrants from deportation at the expense of pedestrian safety. Unregistered, fast-moving bikes frequently ignore traffic rules, and civil penalties are difficult to enforce against those without fixed abodes.3. HEADLINE: The UAE's Strategic Exit from the OPEC Cartel GUEST: Jonathan Schanzer SUMMARY:Jonathan Schanzer explains that the UAE is leaving OPEC to increase oil production, signaling a major rift with Saudi Arabia. This move aims to aid global prices and support Donald Trump's economic agenda. Meanwhile, Iran attempts to link the Straits of Hormuz crisis with Israeli-Lebanese ceasefire negotiations to complicate diplomacy.4. HEADLINE: International Scandals and Israel-Ukraine Tensions GUEST: Jonathan Schanzer SUMMARY:Reports suggest Qatar influenced ICC prosecutor Karim Khan to target Israeli leaders while helping suppress misconduct allegations against him. Simultaneously, Ukraine accuses Israel of purchasing stolen grain from occupied territories. Internally, Israeli politics are shifting as Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett unite to challenge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership.5. HEADLINE: The Global Impact of the Iranian Energy Conflict GUEST: Mary Kissel SUMMARY: Mary Kisselhighlights a fertilizer crisis caused by the war in Iran, which threatens global food security, particularly in Africa. She views the UAE's OPEC exit as part of a fundamental regional reshaping. Kissel asserts that the U.S. must maintain the political will to secure waterways and address Iran's nuclear program.6. HEADLINE: Navigating the Rodriguez Transition in Venezuela GUEST: Mary Kissel SUMMARY: Delcy Rodriguez, Venezuela's provisional president, is traveling to project stability and attract energy investment. While she aims to present herself as a cooperative figurehead, her future depends on U.S. demands for democracy. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado continues to draw massive support and plans to return to Venezuela by year's end.7. HEADLINE: German Economic Stagnation and Strategic Critiques GUEST: Judy Dempsey SUMMARY:Friedrich Merz describes Germany as "humiliated" by Iran due to a lack of clear U.S. strategy. Germany faces its fourth year of stagnant growth and a severe demographic crunch with record-low births. While Merz remains an Atlanticist, he critiques the Trump administration's transactional approach and lack of a strategic exit plan.8. HEADLINE: The Decline of Viktor Orbán and Hungary's Pivot GUEST: Judy Dempsey SUMMARY:Hungary's business elite are moving away from Viktor Orbán as Peter Magyar gains popularity by campaigning against systemic corruption. Magyar focuses on delivering tangible public services like healthcare and infrastructure. Orbán's defeat represents a significant blow to Europe's far-right, including Germany's AfD party.9. HEADLINE: Keir Starmer's Leadership Amidst the Mandelson Scandal GUEST: Joseph SternbergSUMMARY: Joseph Sternberg examines UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's instability following the Mandelsonaffair, a bureaucratic scandal involving improper diplomatic nominations. Despite being under pressure, Starmer likely remains in office because the Labor Party lacks a plausible replacement. The scandal's complexity makes it difficult for ordinary voters to comprehend fully.10. HEADLINE: Kevin Warsh's Vision for a Smaller Federal Reserve GUEST: Joseph Sternberg SUMMARY:Joseph Sternberg describes Kevin Warsh as a policymaker who believes the Fed should "stick to its knitting" by focusing strictly on price stability. Warsh intends to shrink the Fed's balance sheet to reduce its political intrusiveness and scale back "forward guidance". This approach aims to defend the central bank's long-term independence.11. HEADLINE: Historical Precedents for Modern Maritime Chokepoints GUEST: Ziyuan (Emily) WangSUMMARY: Emily Wang explains how the 1936 Montreux Convention established Turkey as a durable gatekeeper for the Turkish Straits, offering lessons for modern conflicts. The treaty balanced the shared tacit interests of opposing powers like Britain and Russia. Its success highlights the importance of legally binding frameworks in managing strategic waterways.12. HEADLINE: Managing Risks in Global Maritime Chokepoints GUEST: Ziyuan (Emily) Wang SUMMARY:Emily Wang analyzes the current threats in the Straits of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, noting that risk perception and insurance markets are as vital as physical security. She argues that long-term stability requires quantifying tacit interests and maintaining a strong navy to ensure credible gunboat diplomacy against revisionist powers.13. HEADLINE: Pakistan's Emerging Role as a Neutral Diplomatic Site GUEST: Sadanand Dhume SUMMARY:Sadanand Dhume discusses Pakistan's surprising role as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran, facilitated by its unique geography and ties to China. Field Marshal Asim Munir leads this effort. A successful resolution could weaken the pernicious ideology of Islamism, reverberating positively throughout the broader Muslim world.14. HEADLINE: Ideological Barriers in Pakistan's Foreign Policy GUEST: Sadanand Dhume SUMMARY:Sadanand Dhume explores Pakistan's deep-rooted hostility toward Israel, which persists despite regional shifts toward normalization. While India views Pakistan's mediation role with envy, Pakistan's military leadership, under Field Marshal Munir, maintains power behind a civilian facade to insulate itself from economic discontent and governance pressures.15. HEADLINE: Al-Qaeda's Massive Military Offensive in Mali GUEST: Caleb Weiss and Bill RoggioSUMMARY: Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio report on an unprecedented offensive by JNIM, al-Qaeda's West Africanbranch, which has blockaded Mali's capital and seized key military bases. The Malian state and Russian forces are in retreat, leaving behind significant equipment. This operation signals a major failure in intelligence and coordination.16. HEADLINE: The Blueprint for Al-Qaeda's Transnational Expansion GUEST: Caleb Weiss and Bill RoggioSUMMARY: This offensive serves as a blueprint for al-Qaeda to target other Sahalian states like Burkina Faso and Niger. Alarmingly, Ukrainian-supplied drones used by Tuareg rebels have inadvertently aided al-Qaeda's efforts. Bill Roggio emphasizes that al-Qaeda and the Islamic State continue to fight for global dominance across multiple continents.

Of all living composers, perhaps none are more closely associated with the sound of Christmas than John Rutter and Bob Chilcott. Earlier this year, both marked milestone birthdays - Rutter turned 80 and Chilcott 70. A few days before Christmas, we caught up with them to talk about carols, choirs, and the enduring magic of the season.Jimmy Lai is one of Hong Kong's most prominent critics of the Beijing government: a media tycoon, democracy campaigner, and a Roman Catholic. The 78-year-old British citizen has been in prison since December 2020 and is now, after last week's guilty verdicts, facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison. In her first interview with UK media, his daughter Claire Lai, tells the BBC's Danny Vincent she fears her father may become a martyr. 'Before The Millennium'- a Christmas production by Karim Khan. It's set in a Woolworths store in 1999, the year Ramadan and the Christmas season coincided. It explores the friendship between two migrant women during the festive season. Muslim writers and performers like Karim are telling stories of faith, friendship and everyday life as British Muslims, and fringe theatre has become an increasingly important platform for them.Presenter: Emily Buchanan Producers: Bara'atu Ibrahim & Catherine Murray Studio Managers: Mike Smith & Patrick Shaw Editor: Tim Pemberton

Het Internationaal Strafhof in Den Haag is de hoeder van het internationaal recht. Zo moet de Israëlische premier Netanyahu volgens het hof gearresteerd worden vanwege oorlogsmisdaden. Eén man was daarin cruciaal: hoofdaanklager Karim Khan. Maar hij ligt onder vuur vanwege beschuldigingen van seksueel misbruik. Redacteur Romy van der Poel reconstrueerde de zaak.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is facing one of the deepest crises in its history. United States President Donald Trump sanctioned lead prosecutor Karim Khan earlier this year, grinding the court’s work to a crawl. Khan is now on leave as he faces a sexual misconduct investigation. How is the court functioning in his absence, and what does it mean for the future of international accountability?

Benjamin Netanyahu anunciou no domingo (18) que Israel tomaria o controle da Faixa de Gaza após semanas de bombardeio no território palestino e meses de bloqueio de ajuda humanitária. Diversos países reagiram à declaração, ameaçando ou aplicando sanções ao Estado judeu. O Durma com Essa desta quarta-feira (21) fala sobre a ofensiva israelense, o atual momento do conflito com o Hamas e a reação internacional aos ataques no enclave palestino. O programa desta semana tem também João Paulo Charleaux falando sobre as suspeitas de abuso sexual envolvendo o procurador-geral afastado do Tribunal Penal Internacional, Karim Khan, Daieese Jaala comentando  a importância de mulheres em cargos de liderança no poder público e Lucas Zacari contando sobre o filme “O agente secreto”, de Kleber Mendonça Filho.

How will this affect the case against Rodrigo Duterte before the ICC?

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court will temporarily step down pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.

À Kinshasa, la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) est prête à soutenir la création d'un Tribunal spécial pour juger tous les crimes commis au Congo depuis trente ans. C'est ce qu'a annoncé la semaine dernière Karim Khan, le procureur de la CPI, lors d'un déplacement sur place. Voilà près de dix ans que le docteur Mukwege, le prix Nobel de la Paix 2018, réclame un tribunal international qui serait en mesure de poursuivre tous les criminels présumés, qu'ils soient Congolais, Ougandais ou Rwandais. Mais si ce tribunal voit le jour cette année, comme semble le souhaiter le président Tshisekedi, ne risque-t-il pas d'être instrumentalisé ? Il y a trois ans, le cinéaste belge Thierry Michel a réalisé le film-choc L'Empire du silence. Aujourd'hui, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : « La justice internationale n'a pas permis d'arrêter trois décennies d'atrocités au Congo », a reconnu le procureur de la CPI, c'était la semaine dernière à Kinshasa. Pourquoi cet aveu ?Thierry Michel : Est-ce qu'il a essayé ? À part quelques petits poissons qui ont été jugés devant la CPI, ils sont trois dans les années 2010-2020, je ne vois pas beaucoup de poursuites qui ont été engagées et jamais sur les hautes personnalités des commandements militaires ou politiques, que ce soit du Congo, de l'Ouganda ou du Rwanda. Donc, je pense extrêmement important aujourd'hui de remettre sur la table cette question de la justice transitionnelle pour laquelle se bat le docteur Mukwege, le prix Nobel de la paix 2018, depuis déjà pas mal d'années de par le monde.La nouveauté, la semaine dernière, c'est que lors de ce déplacement à Kinshasa, Karim Khan, procureur de la Cour pénale internationale, a soutenu l'idée d'un tribunal spécial pour les crimes commis au Congo…Oui, ce qui est important, c'est qu'il a dit qu'aucune partie du conflit n'a un chèque en blanc pour les crimes les plus graves relevant du statut de Rome. Aucune partie du conflit, cela veut bien dire que ce ne sera pas une justice de Congolais envers les Congolais, mais que cela va toucher évidemment tous les acteurs des crimes commis depuis 30 ans dont évidemment les pays voisins et les responsables des pays voisins. La question est évidemment de voir si on va remonter les chaînes de commandement politiques et militaires. Mais que je sache, le procureur de la CPI, Karim Khan, n'a pas froid aux yeux puisqu'il a osé s'en prendre à monsieur Poutine en Russie et monsieur Netanyahu en Israël. Donc peut-être qu'il n'aura pas de scrupules à s'en prendre aussi à ceux qui ont été responsables des guerres en RDC.Et pour ce futur tribunal spécial, Karim Khan dit qu'il faut « une approche globale qui nécessite un mandat avec plus de moyens, s'occupant de génocides, de crimes de guerre et de crimes contre l'humanité »…Cela me semble dans le principe très bien. On a déjà des bases de travail, le premier rapport Mapping, mais évidemment, il se termine en 2002. Il ne couvre que dix ans. Il faut évidemment compléter par un deuxième rapport Mapping, me semble-t-il, qui devrait couvrir au moins une vingtaine d'années. Mais ce qui est rassurant, c'est que le Conseil des droits de l'homme de l'ONU va envoyer une commission d'enquête internationale qui devra fixer les responsabilités. Mais il faut aujourd'hui évidemment veiller à sécuriser les témoins. Sécuriser aussi, je pense, les fosses communes, parce qu'il y aura là un travail aussi important, comme cela a été fait dans d'autres pays, d'exhumation des corps pour identification. Comment ont-ils été assassinés et par qui et à quel moment ? Et avec le risque évidemment, si ce n'est que congolais, même avec des experts étrangers, mais si cela ne reste qu'au niveau congolais, il y a évidemment le risque d'instrumentalisation politique ou bien d'éviter certaines responsabilités de certains acteurs de ces crimes qui sont toujours aujourd'hui quand même dans des postes de pouvoir militaire ou politique.Grâce à ce rapport Mapping de 2010, on sait ce qui s'est passé, mais on ne connaît pas l'identité des criminels. Pourquoi ?Mais quand même, on ne les connaît pas, on ne veut pas les connaître puisque….Officiellement, en tout cas.Ce sont ceux dont le docteur Mukwege a dit avec beaucoup de pertinence lors de son discours à Oslo, quand il a reçu le prix Nobel en 2018 : « Ces personnes dont on n'ose et on ne veut pas dire le nom ». N'empêche, ils sont quand même cités dans plusieurs rapports des Nations unies. Et je vous rappelle que dans le film L'Empire du Silence que j'ai réalisé sur 25 années de tragédies congolaises en allant dans toutes les régions où se sont passés ces crimes contre l'humanité et ces crimes de guerre et ces massacres abominables, on a quand même pu, par les témoignages que j'ai récoltés, établir que certains étaient des présumés coupables, vraiment extrêmement sérieux, qui auraient dû être poursuivis. En tout cas, ils n'ont pas été inquiétés le moins du monde.Dans votre film L'Empire du Silence qui est sorti il y a trois ans, vous identifiez notamment deux présumés coupables qui sont des officiers congolais, le général « Tango Four » et le général Ruhorimbere. Qu'est-ce qu'ils sont devenus ?Que je sache, ils n'ont pas été vraiment inquiétés. Ils sont aussi dans ce cycle d'impunité parce que d'un côté, il y a l'empire du silence qui commence à être brisé. Et cela, c'est au crédit de monsieur Khan de briser cet empire du silence. Mais il y a aussi l'empire de l'impunité. Et cela, c'est un iceberg invraisemblable, une montagne à gravir, parce que c'est la culture dominante depuis tellement longtemps, depuis plusieurs décennies politiques.Dans votre film, vous mettez en cause également le général rwandais James Kabarebe. Or, il se trouve que le 20 février dernier, les États-Unis ont annoncé des sanctions financières contre lui, car il s'agit, selon Washington, d'une « personnalité politique et militaire de premier plan qui a joué un rôle essentiel dans les conflits au Congo ces trois dernières décennies »…Voilà ce qui confirme les témoignages que j'ai pu récolter sur le terrain et dont on n'avait jusqu'ici pas vraiment tenu compte. Donc c'est une avancée. Enfin, on brise ce cycle du silence et des noms commencent à être mis en exergue comme présumés criminels.En avril, dans un mois donc, devrait être organisée à Kinshasa, par le président Tshisekedi, une conférence internationale sur la paix, la sécurité et la justice, où pourrait être discutée la création de ce tribunal spécial pour le Congo. Est-ce pour vous l'aboutissement d'un combat que vous menez depuis longtemps ?Quelque part, oui. Cela a été en tout cas une des revendications du docteur Mukwege. Maintenant, il faut voir jusqu'où on pourra aller et si ce ne sera pas instrumentalisé. Il ne faut pas que ce soit seulement un outil politique contre le Rwanda, même si évidemment, il faut dénoncer les crimes commis par le Rwanda et l'occupation actuelle en RDC sans tergiversation. Mais voilà, il y a des responsabilités internes au Congo, il faudra évidemment qu'elles soient mises en exergue.

Ralph welcomes Marc Rotenberg, founder and president of the Center for AI and Digital Policy to fill us in on the latest international treaty aimed at putting guardrails on the potential Frankenstein monster that is Artificial Intelligence. Plus, as we get to the end of the Medicare enrollment period, we put out one last warning for listeners to avoid the scam that is Medicare Advantage.Marc Rotenberg is the founder and president of the Center for AI and Digital Policy, a global organization focused on emerging challenges associated with Artificial Intelligence. He serves as an expert advisor on AI policy to many organizations including the Council of Europe, the Council on Foreign Relations, the European Parliament, the Global Partnership on AI, the OECD, and UNESCO. What troubles me is the gap between an increasingly obscure, technical, and complex technology—abbreviated into “AI” —and public understanding. You know, when motor vehicles came and we tried to regulate them and did, people understood motor vehicles in their daily lives. When solar energy started coming on, they saw solar roof panels. They could see it, they could understand it, they could actually work putting solar panels on roofs of buildings. This area is just producing a massively expanding gap between the experts from various disciplines, and the power structure of corporatism, and their government servants and the rest of the people in the world.Ralph NaderThe difference between these two types of [AI] systems is that with the old ones we could inspect them and interrogate them. If one of the factors being used for an outcome was, for example, race or nationality, we could say, well, that's impermissible and you can't use an automated system in that way. The problem today with the probabilistic systems that US companies have become increasingly reliant on is that it's very difficult to actually tell whether those factors are contributing to an outcome. And so for that reason, there are a lot of computer scientists rightly concerned about the problem of algorithmic bias.Marc Rotenberg[The sponsors of California SB 1047] wanted companies that were building these big complicated systems to undertake a safety plan, identify the harms, and make those plans available to the Attorney General…In fact, I work with many governments around the world on AI regulation and this concept of having an impact assessment is fairly obvious. You don't want to build these large complex systems without some assessment of what the risk might be.Marc RotenbergWe've always understood that when you create devices that have consequences, there has to be some circuit breaker. The companies didn't like that either. [They said] it's too difficult to predict what those scenarios might be, but that was almost precisely the point of the legislation, you see, because if those scenarios exist and you haven't identified them yet, you choose to deploy these large foundational models without any safety mechanism in place, and all of us are at risk. So I thought it was an important bill and not only am I disappointed that the governor vetoed it, but as I said, I think he made a mistake. This is not simply about politics. This is actually about science, and it's about the direction these systems are heading.Marc RotenbergThat's where we are in this moment—opaque systems that the experts don't understand, increasingly being deployed by organizations that also don't understand these systems, and an industry that says, “don't regulate us.” This is not going to end well.Marc RotenbergIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DesantisNews 11/27/241. Last week, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. According to a statement from ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, the international legal body found reasonable grounds to believe that each has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the use of starvation as a method of warfare and intentionally directing attacks against civilians. This news has been met with varied reactions throughout the world. These have been meticulously documented by Just Security. The United States, which is under no obligation to honor the warrant as it is not a party to the Rome Statute, has said it “fundamentally rejects” the judgment and has called the issuing of warrants “outrageous.” Canada, which is party to the Rome Statue has vowed to uphold their treaty obligations despite their close ties to Israel. Germany however, another signatory to the Rome Statute, has suggested that they would not honor the warrants. In a statement, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib said the warrants are “long overdue” and signal that “the days of the Israeli apartheid government operating with impunity are ending.” One can only hope that is true.2. On November 21st, 19 Senators voted for at least one of the three Joint Resolutions of Disapproval regarding additional arms transfers to Israel. As Jewish Voice for Peace Action puts it, “this is an unprecedented show of Senate opposition to President Biden's disastrous foreign policy of unconditional support for the Israeli military.” The 19 Senators include Independents Bernie Sanders and Angus King, progressive Democrats like Elizabeth Warren, Chris Van Hollen and Raphael Warnock, and Democratic caucus leaders like Dick Durbin, among many others. Perhaps the most notable supporter however is Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia, whom Ryan Grim notes is the only Democrat representing a state Trump won and who is up for reelection in 2026 to vote for the resolution. Ossoff cited President Reagan's decision to withhold cluster munitions during the IDF occupation of Beirut in a floor speech explaining his vote. The Middle East Eye reports that the Biden Administration deployed Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer to whip votes against the JRD.3. Last week, we covered H.R. 9495, aka the “nonprofit killer” bill targeting pro-Palestine NGOs. Since then, the bill has passed the House. Per the Guardian, the bill passed 219-184, with fifteen Democrats crossing the aisle to grant incoming-President Trump the unilateral power to obliterate any non-profit organization he dislikes, a list sure to be extensive. Congressman Jamie Raskin is quoted saying “A sixth-grader would know this is unconstitutional…They want us to vote to give the president Orwellian powers and the not-for-profit sector Kafkaesque nightmares.” The bill now moves to the Senate, where it is unlikely to pass while Democrats cling to control. Come January however, Republicans will hold a decisive majority in the upper chamber.4. President-elect Donald Trump has announced his selection of Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer as his pick for Secretary of Labor. Chavez-DeRemer is perhaps the most pro-labor Republican in Congress, with the AFL-CIO noting that she is one of only three Republicans to cosponsor the PRO Act and one of eight to cosponsor the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act. Chavez-DeRemer was reportedly the favored choice of Teamsters President Sean O'Brien, who controversially became the first ever Teamster to address the RNC earlier this year. While her selection has been greeted with cautious optimism by many labor allies, anti-labor conservatives are melting down at the prospect. Akash Chougule of Americans for Prosperity accused Trump of giving “A giant middle finger to red states,” by “picking a teachers union hack” and urged Senate Republicans to reject the nomination.5. Unfortunately, most of Trump's selections are much, much worse. Perhaps worst of all, Trump has chosen Mehmet Cengiz Öz – better known as Dr. Oz – to lead the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Beyond his lack of qualifications and history of promoting crackpot medical theories, Oz is a longtime proponent of pushing more seniors into privatized Medicare Advantage, or “Disadvantage,” plans, per Yahoo! Finance. This report notes that the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for making Medicare Advantage the default health program for seniors.6. According to CNN, Brazilian police have arrested five people who conspired to assassinate leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, better known as Lula, in 2022. This assassination plot was allegedly cooked up even before Lula took office, and included plans to kill Lula's Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The conspirators included a former high-ranking Bolsonaro advisor and military special forces personnel. Reuters reports investigators have discovered evidence that Bolsonaro himself was involved in the scheme.7. In more news from Latin America, Drop Site reports that the United States and Colombia engaged in a secretive agreement to allow the country's previous U.S.-backed conservative President Ivan Duque to utilize the Israeli Pegasus spyware for internal surveillance in the country. Details of the transaction and of the utilization of the spyware remain “murky,” but American and Colombian officials maintain it was used to target drug-trafficking groups and not domestic political opponents. Just two months ago, Colombia's leftist President Gustavo Petro delivered a televised speech revealing details of this shadowy arrangement, including that the Duque government flew $11 million cash from Bogotá to Tel Aviv. As Drop Site notes, “In Colombia, there's a long legacy of state intelligence agencies surveilling political opposition leaders. With the news that the U.S. secretly helped acquire and deploy powerful espionage software in their country, the government is furious at the gross violation of their sovereignty. They fear that Colombia's history of politically motivated surveillance, backed by the U.S. government, lives on to this day.”8. Following the Democrats' electoral wipeout, the race for new DNC leadership is on. Media attention has mostly been focused on the race to succeed Jamie Harrison as DNC Chair, but POLITICO is out with a story on James Zogby's bid for the DNC vice chair seat. Zogby, a longtime DNC member, Bernie Sanders ally and president of the Arab American Institute has criticized the party's position on Israel and particularly of the Kamala Harris campaign's refusal to allow a Palestinian-American speaker at this year's convention. He called the move “unimaginative, overly cautious and completely out of touch with where voters are.” This report notes Zogby's involvement in the 2016 DNC Unity Reform Commission, and his successful push to strip substantial power away from the so-called superdelegates.9. Speaking of Democratic Party rot, the Lever reports that in its final days the Biden Administration is handing corporations a “get out of jail free card.” A new Justice Department policy dictates that the government will essentially look the other way at corporate misconduct, even if the company has “committed multiple crimes, earned significant profit from their wrongdoing, and failed to self-disclose the misconduct — as long as the companies demonstrate they ‘acted in good faith' to try to come clean.” This is the logical endpoint of the longstanding Biden era soft-touch approach intended to encourage corporations to self-police, an idea that is patently absurd on its face. Public Citizen's Corporate Crime expert Rick Claypool described the policy as “bending over backward to protect corporations.”10. Finally, on November 23rd lawyer and former progressive congressional candidate Brent Welder posted a fundraising email from Bernie Sanders that immediately attracted substantial interest for its strong language. In this note, Sanders writes “The Democrats ran a campaign protecting the status quo and tinkering around the edges…Will the Democratic leadership learn the lessons of their defeat and create a party that stands with the working class[?]…unlikely.” The email ends with a list of tough questions, including “should we be supporting Independent candidates who are prepared to take on both parties?” Many on the Left read this as Bernie opening the door to a “dirty break” with the Democratic Party, perhaps even an attempt to form some kind of independent alliance or third party. In a follow-up interview with John Nichols in the Nation, Sanders clarified that he is not calling for the creation of a new party, but “Where it is more advantageous to run as an independent, outside of the Democratic [Party]…we should do that.” Whether anything will come of this remains to be seen, but if nothing else the severity of his rhetoric reflects the intensity of dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party in light of their second humiliating defeat at the hands of a clownish, fascistic game show host. Perhaps a populist left third party is a far-fetched, unachievable goal. On the other hand, how many times can we go back to the Democratic Party expecting different results. Something has got to give, or else the few remaining pillars of our democracy will wither and die under sustained assault by the Right and their corporate overlords.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

OA1035 A second Alito flag has hit the news, we have election results out of Fulton County, and the jury is nearly out in Donald Trump's New York criminal trial. Matt also answers patron questions about how things could go wrong with the jury between now and the verdict, as well as why juries everywhere are so rarely sequestered anymore. After a brief detour past a very important class-action suit against Hershey's for the insufficient jauntiness of its Halloween candy, we turn to our main story: International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan's application for arrest warrants to be issued against leaders of both Hamas and Israel. How does The Hague have jurisdiction to prosecute the prime minister of a country which has flatly refused to recognize its authority--or, for that matter, Palestinians  who carried out the attacks of October 7, 2023 in the territory of that same country? Matt explains the background and recent history of humanity's first standing international criminal tribunal as we consider what this moment means for Israel, Palestine, and the world.   Complaint in Cynthia Kelly v.
