Room for Discussion

5 years after the closure of the Yugoslavia tribunal, has it achieved its aim? The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in the Hague saw some of the world’s worst war criminals during its 20 years in session.

Alphons Orie, as a judge at the tribunal, presided over several cases. Among others, he sentenced Ratko Mladić, Bosnian-Serbian general to life for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

How did he experience his time at the court, and does he think there’s a future for international tribunals? Will we see an International Criminal Tribunal for Climate Change?

Stock exchanges have offered a market for over 600 years. But what influence do politics, technology, and the stock market industry itself have on the price?

Room for Discussion Caroline van der Plas op de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Mevrouw van de Plas is actief Twitteraar, oud journalist, stijl icoon, maar bovenal de fractievoorzitter van de tweede partij in ons land, de BoerBurgerBeweging(BBB), tenminste, als we de peilingen mogen geloven. De BBB heeft momenteel 1 zetel in het parlement, maar staat op meerdere peilingen van 15 tot 20 zetels. Met die ene zetel doet mevrouw van de Plas veel, ze was net uitgeroepen door HP de Tijd tot 'ijverigste' Tweede Kamerlid van het parlementaire jaar 2021-2022. Ze resoneert goed, als 'de stem van het volk', met haar klare taal en directe social media strategie.Deze stem en ideologie vind wellicht niet veel weerklank op de stereotype studenten van de UvA. Daarom is het juist belangrijk om de crisises en de toekomst van de politiek te bespreken met iemand die qua stijl en politiek het veld redelijk op de kop zet. Stikstof, energie en een opvangcrisis, hoe lossen we die op? We gaan het met mevrouw van der Plas hebben over de tweedeling in Nederland van stad en platteland, het Nederlandse stikstof beleid, de persoon van der Plas en uiteraard de toekomst van de BBB. Kom vooral langs! Er is tijdens het interview ook ruimte voor publieksvragen
