Podcast appearances and mentions of Philippe Sands

Following the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945 some of its most egregious war criminals sought to escape justice by fleeing Europe, most famously to South America. The escape routes they used, established by Nazi sympathisers, came to be known as 'ratlines'. The escaping Nazis had helped from an unexpected source; senior figures within the Catholic Church.The story of SS officer Walter Rauff exemplifies how these networks operated and the subsequent lives of the escapees. Rauff was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people during the Second World War and was a key perpetrator of the Holocaust. After escaping to Chile, he would eventually come to work for the brutal Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. There he would go on to inflict further miseries on the Chilean people. Rauff was never put on trial, but is it possible to obtain a different kind of justice for his numerous crimes?Philippe Sands, a renowned British-French lawyer and author, joins Dan to provide insights from his book '38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a Nazi in Patagonia', which explores Rauff's life and actions and the involvement of the Catholic Church.Produced & edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

Environmental law is the law relating to environmental problems – but these problems are anything but simple. Traditional legal systems weren't designed with challenges like climate change or biodiversity loss in mind, making this one of the most diverse, evolving, and demanding areas of law today.In this episode, James and Daisy are joined by Philippe Sands KC – a leading international lawyer, professor at UCL and Harvard, and author of East West Street and the recently published 38 Londres Street. Together, they explore the role of international law in protecting the environment. When did international law begin to take environmental issues seriously? Can nature itself have legal rights? What might international environmental law look like for future generations? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Financial Times (2025) – Philippe Sands argues that our planet – not just its people – should have legal rights. “Should Trees Have Standing?” by Christopher Stone (1972) – A landmark law review article that launched the idea of legal rights for nature. LSE (2024) – Analysis of climate change litigation cases in 2023, drawing on the Sabin Center's Climate Change Litigation Databases. Stop Ecocide International – Leading the movement to make ecocide a crime. Philippe helped draw up the legal definition: “Ecocide" means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts.KEY CASES AND LEGAL CONCEPTS: Chernobyl – The most serious nuclear accident in history. Philippe's book, Chernobyl: Law and Communication, explores the international legal aftermath of the disaster.ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons (1996) – Paragraph 29 recognised a state's obligation to respect the global environment. A new ICJ advisory opinion on climate change is expected in 2025. Chagos Islands – Philippe has long represented Mauritius in its legal battle against the UK over the Chagos Islands. In 2023, he argued that the UN's International Telecommunication Union could deem UK-US activities there unlawful.The Gambia vs Myanmar – A landmark ICJ case against Myanmar for violating the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in relation to the Rohingya Muslims.Red Eagle vs. Colombia – A case involving Colombia's protection of the pàramos ecosystems from mining. The Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression – Proposed in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, aiming to hold individuals responsible. The proposal followed this article by Philippe.  Montreal Protocol – A successful international treaty to phase out ozone-depleting substances. Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism – An EU carbon tariff on carbon intensive products, such as steel, cement and some electricity. The Law of Sea – Governs maritime conduct and environmental protection beyond national borders.OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) – A nonprofit focused on environmental law (founded in 1989). Brownlie's Principles of Public International Law by Ian Brownlie – A foundational text in public international law. Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane – At powerful book on the legal and imaginative rights of nature. Silent Spring by Rachel Carson – A groundbreaking book published in 1962 on the environmental harm caused by the widespread use of pesticides that reshaped environmental policy.   Bill McKibben – An American environmentalist, author, and journalist who has written extensively on the impact of global warming.Thomas Buergenthal – An Auschwitz survivor who became a judge with the UN war crimes court in The Hague. Sir Nicholas Lyell QC – An Attorney General in the John Major government and Conservative MP.Thank you for listening!

In this conversation with John Maytham, acclaimed author and international human rights lawyer Philippe Sands discusses his latest book, 38 Londres Street. Blending personal memoir with legal and historical investigation, Sands unpacks a haunting dual narrative of mass murder and justice. From the shadows of World War II to modern-day crimes against humanity, he explores how a single address in Paris connects personal loss, legal reckoning, and the enduring legacy of genocide. It’s a story that challenges memory, justice, and how the past speaks to our present. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist.

When the newspapers are full of horrifying stories, international law sometimes feels impotent. Why is it still important? In what way is the term “genocide” political? Is our international system failing if world powers don't subscribe to it? And why would we need a fifth international crime of “Ecocide”? Philippe Sands is a specialist in international law, with over 40 years of experience in advocating for justice in front of the world's most significant courts, such as the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the European Court of Human Rights. Most importantly, Sands does not just practice international law; he tells its story. 

Philippe Sands is a world-renowned lawyer, writer and winner of the UK's biggest non-fiction prize for his book East West Street. 

This special episode focuses on Philippe Sands' latest book, 38 Londres Street – On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a Nazi in Patagonia. The title of Sands' new book refers to the address of Pinochet's torture centre in 38 London street, Santiago/Chile, and the quest to bring Pinochet to court for his deeds in London and Spain in the late 1990ies. Since the release of Philippe Sand's book in April 2025, several court cases have been started against Pinochet's officers in Chile. A second strand of the book is devoted to a member of Pinochet's staff, the Nazi engineer Walter Rauff. Famous as the constructor of the so-called “gas-waggons”, he was also notorious as a torturer and as an intelligence officer in Gestapo and Sicherheitsdienst during the 1940ies in the Nazi era, his specialty was “extraction of confessions”. He also is a protagonist of the so-called Ratline: in the post-war, he escaped several imprisonment camps and evaded justice. Like many Nazi perpetrators he emigrated to Latin America in the 1950ies and subsequently rose to new positions, with old duties. The book gives full account  of Rauffs involvement in the murders of the Pinochet intelligence agency DINA and their torture camps during the 1970ies, and his heinous practice to let people “disappear” in fishmeal factories.   Special Hosts & Moderators: Prof. Dr. Kerstin von Lingen, Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Vienna; historian Dr. Linda Erker from the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance (DÖW); MA history student Bruno Stern and journalist Klaus Taschwer (“Der Standard”, Vienna). Production & Editing: Magdalena Ragl, Franziska Lamp-Miechowiecki

Anwalt, Autor, Aktivist: Philippe Sands trägt nicht nur eine Perücke in den internationalen Gerichtssälen dieser Welt - etwa wenn er Palästina vor dem Internationalen Gerichtshof vertritt. Er setzt sich gerne auch andere Hüte auf: Den des Aktivisten, wenn er die Einrichtung eines Sondertribunals für das Crime of Aggression fordert - den Angriffskrieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine. Dieser Sondergerichtshof soll jetzt mit dem Europarat und unter kräftiger Mithilfe europäischer Staaten eingerichtet werden. In Wien stellt Bestseller-Autor Sands gerade sein neues Buch “Die Verschwundenen von Londres 38” vor - es geht um die Verbrechen von Diktator Augusto Pinochet und um seine Verhaftung in London 1998. Tessa Szyszkowitz hat mit ihm gesprochen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

De 4 mei-herdenking is afgelopen jaren gepolitiseerd geraakt door verhitte debatten over wie we herdenken en op welke manier. Tegelijkertijd neemt de kennis over de Shoah onder jongeren af. Waarom is herdenken belangrijk?Die vraag beantwoordt schrijver en jurist Philippe Sands in een lezing in De Balie waarin hij dieper ingaat op vernietiging en ondergang in het Derde Rijk. Sands analyseert hoe de herinnering aan genocide de manier waarop we omgaan met hedendaagse conflicten en onrecht beïnvloedt. De Shoah, als een van de donkerste hoofdstukken in de geschiedenis, herinnert ons niet alleen aan de miljoenen slachtoffers, maar ook aan de gevaren van haat, vooroordelen en onbeperkte macht.Na afloop van de lezing in het Engels volgt een panelgesprek in het Nederlands met Arnon Grunberg, Judith Belinfante en Nico Schrijver en houdt ook Jaap Goudsmit een lezing.Philippe Sands (1960) is een Brits-Franse jurist, hoogleraar en auteur, gespecialiseerd mensenrechten en internationaal recht. Sands was betrokken bij verschillende internationale strafzaken, waaronder die van de Chileense juntaleider Pinochet. Sands schreef verschillende bekroonde boeken, waaronder Galicische wetten (2016) en The Ratline (2020), over internationaal recht, genocide en nazisme.Programmamaker: Eloïse KasiusModerator: Yoeri AlbrechtZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode, we're joined by author and international human rights barrister Philippe Sands to talk about his latest book, 38 Londres Street, a gripping exploration of justice, memory, and impunity through the intertwining stories of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and Nazi fugitive Walter Rauff who spent decades in Chile avoiding extradition.We consider the groundbreaking legal concept of universal jurisdiction through the lens of Pinochet's dramatic 1998 arrest in London—a defining moment that transformed international justice—and what it means for the complex geopolitics of today. Drawing inspiration from literary figures like Roberto Bolaño, Bruce Chatwin, and Ariel Dorfman, Sands blends detective-style nonfiction with profound moral complexity, tracing the ominous echoes among Nazi Germany, fascism, and the Cold War. He also tells us about the book's sensational reception in Chile, where the effects of his reporting have reignited long-suppressed debates about accountability and national memory. In typical fashion, we also cover everything from Pinochet's visit to Hatchards a few days before his arrest—where he reportedly bought every book he could find on Napoleon—to his compulsive viewing of Star Wars films while awaiting trial.

Sam Leith's guest on this week's Book Club podcast is the lawyer and writer Philippe Sands, whose new book 38 Londres Street describes the legal and diplomatic tussle over the potential extradition of the former Chilean dictator General Pinochet. Philippe tells Sam why the case was such an important one in legal history, and presents new evidence suggesting that the General's release to Chile on health grounds may have been part of a behind-the-scenes stitch-up between the UK and Chilean governments. He sets out some of that evidence and pushes back on our reviewer Jonathan Sumption's scepticism about the case. Here's an old case, but not yet a cold case. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

The lawyer Philippe Sands weaves together a story of historical crimes, impunity and the law in his latest book, 38 Londres Street. He uncovers the links between a Nazi hiding in plain sight in Patagonia and the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, and the failed attempts to bring either to justice. Kenneth Roth has led Human Rights Watch for the last three decades, overseeing investigations into violence and oppression in countries all over the world. In Righting Wrongs he tells the stories of the wins and the losses, and the ongoing fight to uncover, and prosecute, abuses.The BBC's former Syria correspondent Lina Sinjab was forced into exile more than a decade ago after threats from President Bashar al-Assad's government. She could only watch as death and destruction ripped through her country, and those in power appeared to act with impunity.

What connects a notorious Chilean dictator with an SS commander who played a key role in the Holocaust? This is the question at the heart of a book by the author and lawyer Philippe Sands, which follows the twin stories of Augusto Pinochet's sensational arrest in London in 1998 and the postwar career of Walter Rauff, who spent many years in Pinochet's Chile. Philippe was joined by Rob Attar to explore a tangled tale of law and mass murder in Europe and South America.

The French Far Right leader Marine Le Pen is barred from standing in the country's next presidential election following her conviction for embezzlement. She's beginning an emergency appeal straight away, and her party says “democracy has been executed“ in France today. Will that conviction silence them? Or could it be a rocket boost to their electoral fortunes? Plus, we have an exclusive interview with International barrister Philippe Sands on what happens when the law and politics clash, why Trump may cancel the next elections - and his new book '38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a Nazi in Patagonia'.Don't forget you can also subscribe to our other News Agents podcasts via the link below:https://linktr.ee/thenewsagentsThe News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

The future of the Chagos Islands hangs in the balance as world leaders debate how really owns the islands and who should be allowed to live there. Since the 1970s, the evicted Chagossian people have been using legal channels to fight their expulsion from their Indian Ocean homes, challenging Britain's claim to its last colony. Led by Olivier Bancoult, a Chagossian activist expelled from Peros Banhos in the 1960s, hundreds of people have been campaigning to be granted the right to return to their land. Despite winning their case in October 2024, the election of US President Donald Trump has thrown the status of the Chagos Islands again into jeopardy. So, as the weeks roll on since Trump's inauguration, the Chagossian people are asking: when will Britain let us go home? Listen as William and Anita are once again joined by barrister, writer and academic, Philippe Sands, to discuss the uncertain future of the Chagos Islands.

The Chagos Islands have dominated news headlines over the past few months, but the struggle of the Chagossian people to reclaim their island home has spanned centuries. First colonised in 1513 by the Portuguese, the archipelago shifted from one imperial master to another over the course of the next three hundred years, until the British took control in the 19th century and changed the course of Chagossian history forever... In the 20th century the US realised the strategic importance of the Chagos archipelago, sitting equidistant between Asia and Africa. As the island of Diego Garcia became home to one of the largest US military bases in the world, the Chagossian people were forcibly evicted from their lands and displaced across the world, left to fend for themselves in unknown lands. Listen as Anita and William are joined by Philippe Sands, barrister, writer and academic, who has been leading the repatriation case against the British government on behalf of the Chagos Islands and the Mauritian state.

From March 8, 2023: A few weeks ago, Human Rights Watch released a report on the forced expulsion of the Chagossian people, whom the United Kingdom deported from their island homes in the Indian Ocean about 60 years ago to make way for the United States to build a military base called Diego Garcia. The report recommends reparations for the Chagossian people and a trial for individuals responsible for these crimes against humanity—the very first time the group has laid such a charge at the door of the US and UK. Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sat down with Philippe Sands, an international human rights lawyer who served as counsel for Mauritius in its bid to reclaim sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago. Philippe is the author of several books, including his most recent, "The Last Colony: A Tale of Exile, Justice and Britain's Colonial Legacy," which is about the islands. They discussed the Chagossian people's decades-long legal struggle to return to their ancestral home, a chance phone call from a ski lift, and the role of race and identity in the making and application of international law.

The attacks on Hezbollah operatives were as audacious as they were incredible. Yesterday, targeting four thousand potential terrorists remotely through their pagers. And further attacks today using handheld radios. But when the dust has settled, how will the world view this move? Was it justifiable? Or a breach of international law? What are the ethics of targeting so large a group? And was it a breach of Lebanese sovereignty?

The SCOTUS decision on Donald Trump's claim of presidential immunity in the various indictments against him for the January 6th events has ramifications not just in American but also international law. In this podcast, noted human rights lawyer Philippe Sands, author of the award-winning best seller East West Street looks at how the concept of "absolute immunity" outlined in the decision works in relation to laws enacted to punish crimes against humanity and genocide. Give us 35 minutes to explain.

Il y a quelques semaines, nous avons diffusé un podcast sur le mouvement étudiant propalestinien.Beaucoup d'étudiants estiment que la guerre déclenchée par Israël contre le Hamas a débouché sur un génocide. Si personne ne conteste les extrêmes souffrances des civils de la bande de Gaza et des familles des victimes du Hamas, l'utilisation de ce mot, génocide, fait l'objet de débats.Le génocide, c'est le "crime des crimes" en droit international. Alors quelle différence entre le crime contre l'humanité et le génocide ? Comment on change d'échelle ? L'équipe de Sur le Fil a décidé de revenir sur les racines historiques de ce mot, mais aussi de mieux comprendre sa définition juridique et les débats qui l'entourent concernant Israël et Gaza avec trois spécialistes : l'historien Vincent Duclert, spécialiste notamment du génocide au Rwanda, la juriste Rafaëlle Maison, professeure de Droit international à l'Université Paris-Saclay et Richard Carter, directeur du bureau de l'AFP à La Haye.Réalisation: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferSur le terrain au Rwanda : Ivan Rush Mugisha et Jean Baptiste NkurunzizaPour aller plus loin: Retour à Lemberg, d'après le livre de Philippe Sands, en bande dessinéeLa guerre a éclaté le 7 octobre quand des commandos du Hamas infiltrés depuis Gaza dans le sud d'Israël ont mené une attaque qui a entraîné la mort de 1.194 personnes, en majorité des civils, selon un décompte de l'AFP établi à partir de données officielles israéliennes. Sur 251 personnes enlevées, 116 sont toujours retenues en otages à Gaza, dont 41 sont mortes, selon l'armée. En représailles à l'attaque, l'armée israélienne a lancé une offensive sur la bande de Gaza qui a fait 37.347 morts, majoritairement des civils, selon des données du ministère de la Santé du gouvernement de Gaza, dirigé par le Hamas.Sur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

The Washington Roundtable: Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos discuss how the Israeli strike on World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza could factor into a policy shift by the Biden Administration on Israel and the war.
