1h 4m

Episode Description

Rania Khalek is joined by former UN human rights official Craig Mokhiber, whose recent Mondoweiss article, "Ushering in the age of impunity: Venezuela, Palestine, and the end of international law," unpacks how recent U.S. aggression from Venezuela to Gaza signals a dangerous unraveling of the post-World War II legal order. 

We’ll discuss:

• What the U.S. attack on Venezuela reveals about the limits of global legal restraints. 

• How the violence in Palestine fits into a broader pattern of unchecked power. 

• The crisis facing international law and global institutions like the UN, ICC, and ICJ. 

• What meaningful resistance and accountability might look like.
