EP1 | Guest: Hélène Tigroudja. In September, for the first time a UN human rights body condemned a state for its inaction in the face of the climate emergency. The case centers on the Torres Strait Islands, where rising tides are encroaching on sites of cultural significance to the Kaurareg people. Our guest is a member of the UN Human Rights Committee, the body that made this historic decision. From Geneva, she explains the reasons for and repercussions of the ruling.

EP2 | Guest: Pablo De Greiff. More than a year after Russia's invasion into Ukraine, the international community's ability to prevent atrocities and hold perpetrators accountable has been calledinto question by many. Accusations of war crimes have been leveled against Russian armed forces - and though an arrest warrant was issued this month for Russian President Vladimir Putin by the International Criminal Court, it's unclear if and when he will actually be arrested. But another international body has also been working for more than a year on investigating and producing concrete findings of human rights violations in Ukraine. Pablo de Greiff, one of the members of the UN's Independent International Commission ofInquiry on Ukraine, joinsus today to discuss the international human rights system's response to the war.

Ep3 | Guest: Conrado Hubner. Democracies around the world are under attack, as authoritarian leaders sow doubt about the electoral process and discontent with other democratic institutions.

Conrado Hubner, a Professorof Constitutional Law at the University of Sao Paulo, columnist for the newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo, and co-founder of Brazil's Center for the Analysis of Liberty and Authoritarianism,joins us to discuss how far defenders of democracy should go in fighting the far right.
