Julia Ioffe Instagram – David Scheffer is a pioneer in international human rights law. He helped set up war crimes tribunals for Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, and the Khmer Rouge. He is also negotiated the creation of the International Criminal Court and signed the Rome Statute on behalf of the U.S. government in 1998.
Puck’s Julia Ioffe gave Scheffer a call to pick his brain about what’s in South Africa’s complaint against Israel, what we can expect from the International Court of Justice, and what we talk about when we talk about genocide.
