Chris Hedges and Craig Mokhiber, Former Director of the NY Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, on the Genocidal War Against the Palestinian People in Gaza, the pernicious role of the Israeli government and military, and the vile complicity and support of the U.S. government under Joe Biden

The International Court of Justice has just issued preliminary measures against Israel for the crime of genocide in Gaza. The ruling follows weeks of anticipation and months of international outcry for Israel to face accountability from the UN. While much remains undetermined, this is a critical development in a time when the integrity of international institutions has been thrown into crisis by their ineffectiveness in the face of Israel's slaughter. 

Former director of the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Craig Mokhiber, who resigned from his position last fall in protest of what he called the UN's "failure" to protect Palestinians, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a discussion on the weaknesses of the UN in the face of US and Israeli impunity. Editor's note: This interview was recorded prior to the Jan. 26 ICJ ruling.
