No Nation is Above the Law - Bill Blum, Aura Kanegis, Mark Oettinger, David Gallup
from People-Powered Planet Podcast · host Arthur Kanegis
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Russia to “immediately suspend” its invasion of Ukraine. 4 experts will discuss what it will look like when we evolve a future in which no nation or national leader is above the law. Can you imagine what the future will look like if we, the people, used our economic and nonviolent power to enforce world law? How could we enforce the recent World Court ruling against Putin’s invasion? Imagine implementing Kellogg Briand in which Russia, USA and 60 other countries outlawed war! Bill Blum is a Los Angeles lawyer and a former state of California administrative law judge. He's written extensively about the need for international law to apply across the board, to the US in Nicaragua, to Israel in Palestine and now to Russia: https://progressive.org/topics/bill-blum/ Aura Kanegis is the Director of Public Policy and Advocacy for the American Friends Service Committee in Washington DC.
