Ferencz interviewed on the peace process and Nuremberg

Interview with Benjamin Ferencz. Host: Kenneth Simon Ferencz discusses his involvement with the peace process as a constructive contribution to the world. He wants to make permanent what he and others did at Nuremberg: 1) prohibit aggression by making war a crime; 2) prohibit crimes against humanity; 3) prohibit war crimes. He speaks about both the failure and progress of the United Nations and charges all people as particularly responsible for not inducing change for a more peaceful world. Ferencz defines the fundamental components of a system of international peace that will tear down bureacracy: 1) disarmament; 2) effective economic sanctions; 3) United Nations military force; and 4) enhanced enforcement. Furthermore, he identifies three critical features of an international criminal court (all of which are void in the current international arena): 1) laws; 2) courts; and 3) enforcement. Ferencz criticizes sovereignty as irrational and calls for reason and cooperation to better serve the people. He closes demanding improvement, tolerance, compassion, involvement, and ultimately, peace.
