On the margins of the 23rd session of State Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Court, in The Hague, a stairway conversation about international law, and its fate, with South African Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Vusi Madonsela / The obscure UN committee charged with eliminating “all forms of racial discrimination” labours for five years on scrupulously detailed apartheid charges by Palestine against Israel, and comes up with … no comment — or “individuated” apartheid finding, as Irish legal scholar and CERD committee commentator David Keane tells the GPM.
In the wake of Bashar al-Assad’s downfall at the hands of a small army of jihadist rebels — no doubt aided and abetted by the US and Israel (aka Israel-USA) — the GPM speaks with Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs. From events in Syria, our conversation turns to the non-existent rule of law, prospects for Palestine once Donald Trump moves into the White House, and the nature of competent leadership.

Some thought it would never happen. This past week it did: criminal charges against Israeli leaders at the International Criminal Court, in The Hague. Israeli leaders can kiss their overseas travel plans goodbye. Days earlier, the International Court of Justice ordered it to halt its assault on the southern Gaza city, Rafah — an order Israel is now defying, with US and British backing. Which does international law serve – power or justice? What difference does it make? The GPM speaks with three international law and human rights scholars — Toby Cadman, William Schabas and Michael Lynk.
