Ukraine, Venezuela, Iran, Myanmar, Colombia… and a lot more universal jurisdiction cases are today on the desks of Argentine magistrates. A long history of crimes and justice in Argentina has paved the way, for better or for worse. There is no national law on universal jurisdiction, no special investigation unit, and no Interpol support for arrest warrants issued against, for example, Burmese Aung San Suu Kyi, Venezuelan Nicolás Maduro and Nicaraguan Daniel Ortega. “Lengthy procedures”, “low level of stamina”, “limited resources”, but at the same time “one of the most active country in the world” describe the three guest experts on this new podcast from our partners Asymmetrical Haircuts: Maia Czarny, a criminal lawyer who worked at the Federal Criminal System in Argentina; Ezequiel Jimenez, Senior Fellow at the Centre for International Law Research and Policy; and Bénédict De Moerloose, a lawyer specialising in universal jurisdiction.
