Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought at Amherst College to discuss  Douglas’s new book, “The Criminal State: War, Atrocity, and the Dream of International Justice.” They talk about how and why international criminal justice shifted from a focus at Nuremberg on the crime of aggression to an “atrocity paradigm,” as well as the “belatedness problem” and other limitations of atrocity trials. They even get into Douglas’s thoughts on casting decisions for Robert Jackson, Herman Göring, and characters in last year’s film “Nuremberg.”  To receive ad-free podcasts, become a  Lawfare  Material Supporter at  www.patreon.com/lawfare .
