Does justice look different domestically than internationally? How does the international community address issues of impunity exhibited by states and individuals in an affront to international law? In this episode, “Everything, Everywhere, all at once: On the Universality of International Law,” Professor Gerry Simpson speaks with Dr Devika Hovell on the history of international criminal prosecution. This episode explores how international criminal law functions to examine the normative weight of international crimes as offences against humanity as a whole rather than against one nation-state in particular. How does this difference in conception impact the appearance of justice?
