Craig Mokhiber on Israel’s Wall of Impunity
Manage episode 454709741 series 3547772
Ralph welcomes international human rights lawyer and activist, and former senior United Nations human rights official Craig Mokhiber to discuss Israel and Gaza — asking whether Israel should be thrown out of the UN, how Trump’s positions will compare to Biden’s, and whether we’re starting to see cracks in Israel’s wall of impunity.
Craig Mokhiber is an international human rights lawyer and activist, and a former senior United Nations human rights official. A human rights activist in the 1980s, he would go on to serve for more than three decades at the United Nations, with postings in Switzerland, Palestine, Afghanistan, and UN Headquarters in New York. In October of 2023, he left the United Nations, penning a widely read letter criticizing the UN’s human rights failures in the Middle East, warning of unfolding genocide in Gaza, and calling for a new approach to Palestine and Israel based on international law, human rights, and equality.
