Justice and Accountability for the Yazidi Genocide Ten Years On
<p dir="ltr">In Episode 4 of The FoRB Podcast, Merilin Kiviorg and Dmytro Vovk invite Jocelyn Getgen Kestenbaum of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law to discuss political, legal, and social responses to the 2014 Yazidi genocide committed by ISIS. Jocelyn elaborates on the roots of the genocide and addresses the challenges and threats Yazidi communities have faced post-genocide. She also discusses state responsibility and measures, often ineffective, implemented by the Iraqi government and other national and international actors to hold perpetrators accountable. Jocelyn further explains why detention camps for former ISIS members and their families can foster a new circle of violence and how the Yazidi genocide has changed our understanding of international criminal law.<strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Timeline:</p> <p dir="ltr">1:36 – Introducing the topic</p> <p dir="ltr">4:23 – Who Yazidis are (religion, ethnicity, and caste system)<strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">12:39 – The long-standing history of persecutions and violence against Yazidi people</p> <p dir="ltr">13:34 – Religio-ethnic nature of the ISIS atrocities against Yazidi</p> <p dir="ltr">15:32 – State responsibility and individual criminal accountability for the genocide of the Yazidi</p> <p dir="ltr">21:33 – Why does the Iraq legal system address the genocide of Yazidis ineffectively?</p> <p dir="ltr">24:24 – Yazidis' access to asylum due to the genocide (and the recent EU Court of Justice's decision on Afghan women)</p> <p dir="ltr">26:10 – More about state responsibility and the genocides of Yazidis</p> <p dir="ltr">29:50 – Yazidis in the post-genocidal situation</p> <p dir="ltr">34:14 – Detention camps for suspected ISIS members and their families</p> <p dir="ltr">40:21 – How the Yazidi case has changed our understanding of international criminal law</p> <p><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-6f52179d-7fff-1408-5bc1-61a3915c137f"><br /> <br /> <br /></strong></p>

The Russian World Narrative and the Russian Aggression in Ukraine
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In Episode 3 of The FoRB Podcast, Dmytro Vovk and Merilin Kiviorg invite Catherine Wanner and Thomas Bremer to discuss the Russian world (Russky mir)—a narrative utilized by the Russian government and the Russian Orthodox Church to justify Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine and to portray Russia as an "anti-Western civilization." They touch on the ideological origins and content of the Russia world, the Russian Church's involvement in the war, political and legal responses to the Russky mir narrative by Russia's neighboring states (Ukraine and Estonia), and debates over these issues in the United States and Europe.<span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Timeline:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 2:55 The Russian world as a concept: anti-Westernism and the Russian language</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 7:00 Brodsky's belonging to the Russian language</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 9:14 Conservative communitarianism of the Russian world</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 14:55 The Russian world is more a narrative than an ideology </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 19:20 Political instrumentalization of the Russian world</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 21:10 "The Russian world has become married to the concept of victimhood"</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 25:25 The Estonian response to the Russian world</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 28:56 American debates over the Russian world and Ukraine</span><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 37:19 Little attention to the Russian world in German politics</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 41:27 Is the Russia-Ukraine war going over the Russian world and its values?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 44:58 Traditional values and Ukrainians' choice in favor of the European Union</span><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 52:42 The Russian world is something bigger than the personalities of Putin and Kirill</span></p>
