Stefania Maurizi, John Goetz and Christian Mihr discussed in Georg Büchner Buchladen (bookshop) in Berlin about: “What is the Purpose of Journalism if War Crimes Are Not Allowed to be Published?”.
I think this is a good question for discussion. What do you think?
Who does the trial so its valid?
If you were accused of a war crime, who would you want involved?
Accuser, defender, and as close as possible to a neutral host/judge/jury?
It seems that’s the best we can do.
If I was a fascist, like those accused of said war crimes, I’d want to rig the system so that I wouldn’t get in trouble. Why not paint neutral groups as hostile so I get to pick my trial?
