EP212 - A President in the Dock: The Anatomy of International Justice
In 2012, Charles Taylor, the former president of Liberia, became the first head of state convicted by an international tribunal since the Nuremberg trials. We dissect how sovereign immunity failed, how blood diamonds and smuggled arms proved a case of aiding and abetting, and how the RUF's crimes against child soldiers, amputees, and enslaved women were finally laid at his feet.
