- "The Rule of Law"
Justice Richard J. Goldstone
Constitutional Court of South Africa (1994-2003)
Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Justice Richard J. Goldstone for a discussion of the role of law in transitions to democracy, in the prosecution of war crimes, and in the enforcement of the rules of war in the post 911 environment. Drawing on his experiences in South Africa, on his work as special prosecutor for the Bosnia and Rwanda tribunals, and for his leadership of the UN commission on the Gaza War, Justice Goldstone discusses the distinctive features of the South African transition, the ground breaking work that facilitated a breakthrough in the Bosnia conflict, and the goals and accomplishments of the commission examining the conduct of Hamas and Israel in the Gaza War. He concludes with lessons learned from his efforts to insure the rule of law.

good talk
How can Mr. Goldstone seem so capable a justice and have been so easily pressured into detracting his judgement of the harms against the Palestinians who live under even more disgusting apartied in Israel.?
Motivated parties, especially in politics, can threaten anything and everything (i.e., career, loved ones, etc.) to get what they want; Fear is a powerful tool to bend people's wills.

Whyd you retract your judgement on Operation Cast Lead, you coward!
Why do you think? He was threatened by Israel.
