Part 3

Then finally we speak with Scott Horton, a professor at Columbia Law School and a contributing editor at Harpers in Legal Affairs and National Security. We will examine the Obama Administration’s efforts in the new area of human protection with its Atrocity Prevention Board designed to prevent genocides that have previously gone on unabated while the great powers wrung their hands on the sidelines. scott horton
