World on Trial with Bob Amsterdam
by Bob Amsterdam
Who holds power, who gets silenced, and whose version of events do we believe? International human rights lawyer Bob Amsterdam brings more than four decades of experience to conversations with people at the centre of global conflicts and controversial cases. From geopolitics and international law to corruption, authoritarianism and high-profile criminal trials, World on Trial explores how power is exercised, how justice is contested and what happens to the people caught between them. Expect first-hand accounts, uncomfortable questions and a host who speaks his mind. Bob challenges his guests, the narratives that dominate the headlines and the convictions you bring to them. You won’t always agree. That’s the point. Follow World on Trial with Bob Amsterdam on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts for new episodes.
