Paradigm Shift

Holding Power to Account in the Emerging World Order with David Crane

In this episode of Lawyering Peace, Dr. Paul Williams sits down with David Crane, Senior Peace Fellow at PILPG, to discuss the evolving global order, the role of international law, and the future of accountability for atrocity crimes.
Drawing on more than 40 years of experience as a U.S. Army officer, Judge Advocate, and founding Chief Prosecutor of the UN Special Court for Sierra Leone, David reflects on the post-WWII system, paradigm shifts in global power, and how a smarter, more effective UN could respond to 21st-century crises. He offers a practitioner’s perspective on the resilience of accountability norms and the possibilities for strengthening international institutions and regional cooperation in turbulent times.
