Friday Night At The Meaningful Movies: “IN SEARCH OF INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE” with Amnesty International
Free Film and Open Community Discussion: “IN SEARCH OF INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE” (66 min, Judy Jackson, 2006). - with Amnesty International. - This is the first film about a crucial new commitment to the International Rule of Law - so victims will no long suffer without being heard, and war criminals will be punished. Sixty years ago, with the Nuremberg charter, the world first said "Never Again." But these proved empty words for the victims of the Cold War years. The Superpowers couldn't agree on a universal code to punish war criminals. Tyrants ruled with impunity. So the voices of their victims have echoed down through the decades, refusing to be silent, even in death. Joined by relatives who are unable to move on, until they know how their loved ones died. Different languages from different places, but with the same universal theme - begging to be delivered from the torment of living somewhere between life and death. Telling us that they will be able, finally, to rest, when we find out how they died. Insisting we listen.
It is because of these voices that International Justice has been reborn. In 2002 the International Criminal Court was established in The Hague. So far 100 countries have signed on to the Court's mandate. However, the world's remaining superpower, the United States is strongly opposed. Filmed in: Kosovo, Northern Uganda, Iraq, Rwanda, And Darfur.
Join us after the film for a facilitated discussion with members of Amnesty International.
