Prosecuting war crimes is never enough


Listen Later

Prosecuting war crimes can take decades. What if, in the case of Ukraine, that’s because there is too much evidence to sift through, rather than not enough? 

How much of it can be used to deliver justice? Who will decide who to prosecute and who to forgive? And what evidence are Russian forces already destroying?

Linda Kinstler is a writer and war crimes expert who studied how Soviets pioneered modern war crimes evidence collection in Ukraine in the 1940s — only for those lessons to tragically come full circle. Her message: prosecuting these crimes will take decades and it will not be enough.
