On Inside Geneva this week: part three of our series marking the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.Host Imogen Foulkes talks to Louise Arbour, who served as UN Human Rights Commissioner from 2004 to 2008. She arrived in Geneva with a formidable track record.As a prosecutor for the former Yugoslavia, she had indicted Slobodan Milosevic for war crimes. In Rwanda, she secured convictions of rape as crimes against humanity."The work I did both with the tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda were if anything a vindication for me of the significance of law, of the rule of law, as an organising principle in modern society," explains Arbour. Leading the UN's human rights work was a new challenge. "These were very challenging times. 2004, you know, this was in the backyard of 9/11. It was, a new, dangerous, unknown world was starting to unfold with a lot of uncertainties, including on the human rights front."New strategies were needed. "When you arrive in the role of high commissioner for human rights, I think that's part of the dilemma; how do you use your voice? Because I think to be the megaphone for the denunciation of injustices at some point becomes counterproductive, because it just illuminates how impotent the system is. It's like you scream in the wilderness," she said. That's why this dedicated lawyer still tells us to follow the laws, treaties, and conventions we have. "If you came from another planet and you just looked at the human rights framework; the universal declaration of human rights, all the treaties, the conventions, the work of the treaty bodies, you'd think you'd arrived in heaven. So why is it not the case?"Join Imogen Foulkes on Inside Geneva podcast to find out more. Please sign up for our newsletter for Swiss Democracy. Get in touch!

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.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with reporters in Ottawa following his government's tabling of new legislation on gun control. He is joined by federal ministers Marco Mendicino (public safety), David Lametti (justice), Marci Ien (women and gender equality and youth), and Bill Blair (emergency preparedness), as well as several victims of gun violence. Among the measures proposed in Bill C-21 is implementing a national freeze on handguns, taking away the firearms licenses of those involved in acts of domestic violence or criminal harassment, and fighting gun smuggling and trafficking by increasing criminal penalties. The prime minister is also asked about the final report from former Supreme Court of Canada justice Louise Arbour on misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces
The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: The Canadian Armed Forces has failed to stamp out sexual misconduct and should permanently move the prosecution of criminal code sexual offences to the civilian system and turn over harassment complaints to the human rights commission, a report by former Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour says. Ms. Arbour also calls on Ottawa to review the future of Canada's military colleges, and appoint an external monitor to track the progress of her report's recommendations. It is the third report in seven years to give the federal government similar suggestions to address the military's toxic culture and widespread sexual misconduct. The other two were also written by retired justices of the top court. GUEST: Walter Callaghan, PhD candidate in Medical Anthropology with the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto - The federal government is moving to freeze the sale of handguns in Canada as part of its latest effort to reform the country's gun laws. The freeze could be implemented as early as this fall, and would prevent the purchase, sale, transfer or importation of handguns, though individuals who already legally own handguns could still use them. GUEST: Justin Ling, Freelance Investigative Journalist - The maelstrom of headlines and daily chaos has kept our exhausted brains from registering what this government is doing beneath the waves — they are destroying this province, Lorraine Sommerfeld writes.

It is the worst humanitarian crisis since the Second World War. Over 300,000 dead in Syria. One and a half million injured or disabled. Four and a half million people fleeing the country as refugees. And Syria is just one of a growing number of failed or failing states in the Middle East and North Africa. How should developed nations respond to human suffering on this mass scale? Do the prosperous societies of the West, including Canada and the U.S., have a moral imperative to assist as many refugees as they reasonably and responsibly can? Or, is this a time for vigilance and restraint in the face a wave of mass migration that risks upending Western nations' openness, tolerance and ultimately their very way of life?

The At Issue panel discusses the federal government's decision to launch another review into sexual misconduct in the military and the political consequences of its actions. Plus in this extended edition, the panellists unpack the Ontario government's reversal on paid sick leave.
The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: New modelling data released by the province suggests the third wave is now finally "cresting" but the current situation remains very "precarious." Experts with Ontario's COVID-19 science advisory table presented the new data during a news conference on Thursday, as infection numbers in the province dropped below the 4,000 mark for several days. Brown said the third wave cresting is due to lower mobility rates. He said that while retail, recreation and transit mobility has fallen significantly, workplace mobility, which refers to essential workers travelling to job sites, remains high. The science table is now calling for even stronger measures to curb case growth. Projections released on Thursday show that without stronger measures, daily cases would remain above 2,000 in June. ALSO: A weekly breakdown of when people in Ontario will have access to COVID vaccines GUEST: Dr. Zain Chagla, an Infectious Disease Specialist with St. Joseph’s Hospital and an Associate Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Department of Medicine with McMaster University - Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan is launching an independent, external review into sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces led by former Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour. The review will centre around providing recommendations to set up an independent reporting system so that military members can share allegations of sexual misconduct outside of the military chain of command — a key request by victims and survivors who say they have for too long faced reprisals for coming forward. GUEST: Stephanie Carvin, Associate Professor of International Affairs at the Norman Paterson School of International Affair at Carleton University, Former National Security Analyst for CSIS - In 1993’s Groundhog Day, the character played by actor Bill Murray relives the same day over and over again. Fast forward to 2021 and you couldn’t blame Ontario’s 400,000 retail and small business owners for feeling the same way. With the third lockdown in full swing, Ontario retailers have had to hire and fire staff, buy and markdown inventory, and open and close stores in a never-ending merry-go-round of financial and emotional pain and uncertainty. Stuck in a holding pattern and frustrated with governments that appear to move in slow motion, these entrepreneurs have had to innovate just to tread water in an industry at the forefront of COVID-19’s wrath. With non-essential retailers closed and essential retailers capped at 25% capacity, there is limited cash flow to help pay never-ending bills. And don’t forget about the debt that small businesses have incurred during the pandemic. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) estimates that on average, each small business owes $170,000. GUEST: Bruce Winder, Retail analyst and author - Doctors and other front-line professionals, backed by Canadian celebrities, have banded together to get accurate vaccine information to those most at risk of contracting COVID-19. The This Is Our Shot campaign launched Wednesday was driven largely by groups that have been reaching out to and advocating for racialized communities bearing the brunt of the pandemic. The goal is to dispel myths and to answer questions in more than two dozen languages. Celebrities, including actor Ryan Reynolds, crooner Michael Buble and Olympic hockey star Hayley Wickenheiser, are pushing the campaign by posting photos of themselves on social media wearing This Is Our Shot T-shirts.

The Global Commission on Drug Policy was created in January 2011 to highlight the failure of the war on drugs and to call for a paradigm shift towards drug policies grounded in evidence, human rights, and public health. On this episode, Nate is joined by commissioner Louise Arbour to talk about domestic and global drug policy, the harms of prohibition, and why we need to decriminalize all drugs for personal use and then regulate all drugs according to their respective harms.Arbour has taken on an incredible number of impactful and interesting roles over her career. She served as the chief prosecutor of war crimes before the International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, as a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and as a Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for International Migration. As an SCC justice, Arbour dissented in Malmo-Levine, highlighting the harms of prohibition, and she has served as a commissioner of the Global Commission since its inception.You can watch Nate's speech in the House on Bill C-22 here.

« Le Mali est loin de rétablir les échanges commerciaux et diplomatiques avec ses voisins, pays membres de la Cédéao, constate le site d’information Maliweb, et ce malgré la désignation d’un militaire à la retraite à la présidence et d’un civil à la tête du gouvernement de la transition. » Ce qui coince pour l’organisation sous-régionale, ce sont les prérogatives accordées au vice-président de transition, le colonel Assimi Goïta, chef des putschistes du 18 août. En effet, il pourrait prendre la place du président en cas de force majeure. Une disposition refusée par la Cédéao qui veut un rapide retour du pouvoir aux civils. La Cédéao attend aussi la dissolution de la direction de la junte et la libération ou la présentation devant la justice des détenus militaires et civils. La Cédéao a-t-elle tort... Le quotidien en ligne Malikilé s’impatiente : « La Cédéao doit-elle continuer à punir les Maliens pour ce motif, dès lors qu’elle a elle-même accepté le principe d’une vice-présidence et discuté avec le CNSP jusqu’à ce jour. Il est clair qu’un vice-président supplée un président. À moins de supprimer la vice-présidence, ce qui semble ressortir en filigrane des nouvelles exigences de la Cédéao. Certes la Cédéao est libre d’être incohérente, conclut Malikilé, mais elle n’a pas le droit de tuer les Maliens à petit feu. » … ou raison ? Pour Le Pays au Burkina, la Cédéao, au contraire, a raison de maintenir les sanctions : « La junte militaire a rusé avec les exigences de la Cédéao pour reprendre de la main droite, ce qu’elle avait cédé de la main gauche, estime le quotidien ouagalais. En effet, pour répondre à l’exigence d’un président civil à la tête de la transition, les putschistes n’ont pas trouvé mieux de faire appel à un ancien frère d’armes, l’ex-colonel Bah N’Daw. Pire, ils ont flanqué ce civil en demi-teinte du chef de la junte qui s’est attribué le poste de vice-président avec des super pouvoirs. La deuxième raison du maintien des sanctions par la Cédéao, pointe encore Le Pays, est que la junte militaire traîne à dissoudre le Comité national pour le salut du peuple, conformément aux exigences des chefs d’État de l’organisation sous-régionale. En tout cas, précise Aujourd’hui, toujours au Burkina, « les chefs d’État et de gouvernement de la Cédéao pourraient se réunir à nouveau très bientôt sur la demande du président en exercice, le ghanéen Nana Akufo-Addo, afin d’élucider les dernières zones d’ombre sur la situation politique au Mali. Mais comme un avant-goût d’une prochaine demande aux militaires maliens, le président nigérian Muhammadu Buhari a fait savoir qu’avec environ les deux tiers du Mali sous occupation des terroristes, "la priorité des militaires devrait être de sécuriser leur pays", plutôt que de conserver le pouvoir. » Briser le cycle des violences et de l’instabilité en RDC Et puis, autre sujet, autre pays : les violences en RDC… avec cette tribune à lire dans Le Monde Afrique. Tribune signée Louise Arbour, l’ancienne haut-commissaire canadienne des Nations unies aux droits de l’homme et Denis Mukwege, le médecin congolais prix Nobel de la paix 2018. « Pour que cessent les atrocités commises en République démocratique du Congo, il est impératif, soulignent-ils, de mettre fin à l’impunité de leurs auteurs et instigateurs. » Les deux signataires estiment que « l’impératif de rendre justice est un prérequis indispensable pour briser le cycle des violences et de l’instabilité, et une condition sine qua non pour avancer sur le chemin d’un développement et d’une paix durables. » Pour ce faire, ils préconisent de suivre « les recommandations de l’ONU qui propose l’instauration d’un tribunal international pénal pour la RDC et la création de chambres spécialisées au sein des juridictions congolaises. » Enfin, concluent Louise Arbour et Denis Mukwege, « nous saluons l’engagement du président Félix Tshisekedi, responsable politique sans lien avec les crimes du passé, à combattre l’impunité. Nous l’encourageons à promouvoir les mécanismes de justice transitionnelle pour que les victimes des crimes les plus graves commis depuis le début des années 1990 voient enfin leurs droits à la justice, à la vérité, à des réparations et à des garanties de non-renouvellement respectés. »

So, episode 109 - a new record. But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast - right? You should.For the past year the Canadian government and Minister of Justice David Lametti have been clear that they don't have the power to stop the extradition proceedings against Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou.“Canada has an independent judicial system that functions without interference or override by politicians,” Trudeau told reporters during one of his daily press conferences on COVID-19.The Department of Justice told investigative journalist Justin Ling that "the Minister does not personally make any decisions related to an extradition proceeding until and unless the judge commits the person for extradition."And David Lametti told the Toronto Star that he could not politicize the legal process, “as a matter of a political decision, created what I think is an excellent process, which is to say a section in the government will treat this [Meng] case neutrally as it runs through the courts, and the minister of justice will not have any say in the matter.”But, the recent release of a legal opinion provided to the government by criminal lawyer and extradition expert Brian Greenspan, supported by Allan Rock, a former Liberal justice minister, and by former Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour, among others, persuasively exposes the government's prevarications about their authority and powers in the Meng case.This episode we sit down with Brian Greenspan to talk about is legal opinion and discuss why the government is wrong when it says it can't act and talk about why they maybe shouldRemember, you can self-isolate in The Docket's Discord chatroom.Remember, you can join the Discord channel, take part in the ongoing chat, and listen to live recordings with this link: https://discord.gg/2TzUamZHey look we have a sponsor!

More than 10 per cent of the world’s migrant population live in the GCC, making it the highest citizen-to-migrant region in the world. A look at the demographics of the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman shows that at least half of the population is non-citizen residents. In 2015, the Arab World as a whole hosted 32 million migrants, who sent home more than 100 billion dollars in remittances. However, despite their heavy presence not only in the Arab countries but around the world, international agreements on migration are practically non-existent. Louise Arbour, the UN special representative for international migration, joins host Naser Al Wasmi to discuss the upcoming International Conference to Adopt the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration in Morrocco this December and how the compact will change migration in this week's episode of Beyond the Headlines.
Louise Arbour, Special Representative for International Migration at the United Nations, on why we need to do better on migration, how international cooperation enhances national sovereignty, and what's at stake in the ongoing negotiations for the Global Compact for Migration.
Robert Malley is the new president and CEO of the International Crisis Group. He took over on January 1st. The International Crisis Group, of course, provides the public and policymakers with analysis of conflicts and potential ways out of conflict around the world. As regular listeners probably know it is one of my go-to resources for understanding crises and conflicts around the world and analysts from the Crisis Group are regular guests on the this show. (I did not realize this when I reached out to Malley for the interview, but I've now had every single president of the International Crisis Group as guests on this show, including Gareth Evans, Louise Arbour and Rob's immediate predecessor Jean-Marie Guehenno.) We kick off discussing some of the priorities he'll emphasize as the group's new president and also some of the major conflicts and crises he's monitoring as we enter the new year. We then discuss his unique upbringing. As Rob describes it, his father was a Jewish Egyptian Arab nationalist who became a public intellectual and advocated on behalf of colonized people around the world. Rob served in the National Security Council staff of both the Clinton administration and the Obama administration. And his last post in the White House was as the so-called ISIL Czar, coordinating policy against the Islamic State.

We had a fantastic year and can't wait dive into 2018.
Louise Arbour appointed to Supreme Court before heading world human rights. Louise Arbour was born on February 10, 1947 in Montreal, Quebec. Her distinguished career started at the University of Montreal, where she earned her law degree before clerking for a Supreme Court of Canada judge and earning her masters in law at the University of Ottawa. She taught criminal law at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto’s York University, first as a lecturer and finally as associate dean in 1987. Arbour was appointed to Ontario’s High Court of Justice before a quick elevation to Ontario’s top court in 1990. She gained national attention with her enquiry into the Prison for Women in Kingston, Ontario, after violence erupted more than once. She moved to the international stage in 1996 when she was appointed the chief prosecutor of war crimes in the Hague for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, where among other accomplishments, she indictment former Yugoslavia President Slobodan Milošević for crimes against humanity. Arbour left her post early, and on September 15, 1999, she was sworn in as a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. Thinking the position would be her last before some kind of retirement, Arbour made the tough decision to leave one of the most important jobs in Canada. She was called back to the international stage when on July 1, 2004 United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, with the approval of the General Assembly, appointed her high commissioner for human rights. When on March 15, 2006 the assembly created the new United Nations Human Rights, Arbour transferred to the helm of that post. Arbour’s commitment to human rights has made her the recipient of dozens of honorary doctorates from universities, and numerous awards. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
A very Special episode this week. The awesome Emilie Taman is running for the NDP in the soon-to-be announced federal by-election in Ottawa-Vanier. Emilie will be a fantastic member of parliament. Lets start with the obvious: she is super smart, hard working, principled, and deeply committed to justice and fairness. But I think most importantly she is a consensus builder who makes instant connections with everyone she meets - she always makes the right decision for the right reason. In a climate of political cynicism and broken promises Emilie is exactly with our parliament needs. Last week Emilie and Louise Arbour (yes - former Supreme Court judge, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and friend of the podcast) sat down with a roomful of students from Ottawa University to talk about some really important issues: electoral reform, the vibrancy of our democracy, feminism, the environment, immigration, and the refugee crisis. It was fantastic. And I was there to recorded it.

This week Emilie and I phoned it in - we called former Supreme Court Judge and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour to talk about last weeks United Nations General Assembly Special session on the drug problem. Canada will legalize marijuana in 2017 but there may be some problems with our international obligations. What are the road blocks and what went down last week at the UN - i guess you gotta listen to find out. Oh - you will also find out one of my top ten fears.
Louise Arbour poursuit son travail en faveur des droits humains et de la promotion de la justice sociale en prêtant sa voix aux personnes en situation d'itinérance, à Montréal.
To liberalise or prohibit, that is the question. Prohibitionists argue that legalising anything increases its consumption. The world has enough of a problem with legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco, so why add to the problem by legalising cannabis, cocaine and heroin? The liberalisers say prohibition doesn’t work. By declaring certain drugs illegal we haven’t reduced consumption or solved any problem. Instead we’ve created an epidemic of crime, illness, failed states and money laundering. Who's right and who's wrong? Russell Brand, Richard Branson, Julian Assange, Bernard Kouchner, Louise Arbour, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, former President of Brazil Fernando Cardoso, former President of Mexico and Member of the Club de Madrid Vicente Fox were among the speakers that took part in this debate in London in March 2012, with some speakers on stage and others beamed in from all over the World via Google+ Hangouts.

Invitée de l'émission : Hélène Laverdière, députée NPD de Laurier-Sainte-Marie et porte-parole de l'Opposition officielle pour la coopération internationale. La réputation du Canada vis-à-vis du droit international est longtemps demeurée excellente. Il n’y a qu’à penser à son rôle dans la rédaction de la Déclaration Universelle des Droits de l’Homme ou la mise sur pied des Nations Unies ; de la contribution de l’avocat Philippe Kirsch pour la création du Tribunal Pénal International qu’il a du reste été le premier à présider, le gouvernement du Canada ayant ratifié le Statut de Rome en juillet 2000. Citons encore le nom de Louise Arbour, qui présida les Tribunaux Pénaux Internationaux pour l’ex-Yougoslavie et le Rwanda, la Convention de l’Unesco sur la protection et la promotion de la diversité des expressions culturelles que le Canada fut le premier à ratifier en novembre 2005... Mais voilà : depuis, il y a eu - cas unique dans le monde - le retrait du Canada du protocole de Kyoto, et l’annonce, encore plus étonnante, du retrait de la Convention des Nations Unies pour la lutte contre la désertification ; le Canada est le seul pays de l'ONU à ne pas en être partie. Ces évolutions sont-elles structurelles ou propres à la politique actuelle ? Au quel cas, quelles peuvent être les conséquences sur la crédibilité internationale du Canada ?
I veckans program om Dragkampen om Burma snuddar vi vid den allt livligare debatten om sanktionerna mot Burma. Frågan är om de gör mer skada än nytta nu när regeringen, åtminstone på ytan ser ut att ta små steg i riktning mot en demokratisering. En av dem som bestämt hävdar att sanktionerna bör hävas är chefen för den internationella tankesmedjan International Crisis Group, Louise Arbour. I sin tidigare roll som FN:s högkommissarie för mänskliga rättigheter var hon mycket kritisk mot regimen i Burma och förespråkare av sanktioner. Här följer hela intervjun med Louise Arbour på engelska.

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.
The last two decades have witnessed big steps forward in efforts to bring perpetrators of international crimes to justice. There has also been a sharp rise in international attention to the “rule of law.” How has the field of international justice changed? Why is establishing rule of law in fragile and post-conflict societies important and what are the challenges to doing so? The success of rule of law reforms often seems to hinge on political will; how can this political will be created, and what incentives encourage it? Have Western countries led by example? Listen to the second part of our Chicago and the World Forum Series, when Louise Arbour and Cherif Bassiouni addressed these and other questions.
