Genocide: Worse Than War | Full-length documentary | PBS
This film is also available at to.pbs.org Watch Daniel Goldhagen's ground-breaking documentary focused on the worldwide phenomenon of genocide, which premiered on PBS on April 14, 2010. To see this and other full-length PBS videos go to video.pbs.org. Please support your local PBS station at http "By the most fundamental measure -- the number of people killed -- the perpetrators of mass murder since the beginning of the twentieth century have taken the lives of more people than have died in military conflict. So genocide is worse than war," reiterates Goldhagen. "This is a little-known fact that should be a central focus of international politics, because once you know it, the world, international politics, and what we need to do all begin to look substantially different from how they are typically conceived." WORSE THAN WAR documents Goldhagen¹s travels, teachings, and interviews in nine countries around the world, bringing viewers on an unprecedented journey of insight and analysis. In a film that is highly cinematic and evocative throughout, he speaks with victims, perpetrators, witnesses, politicians, diplomats, historians, humanitarian aid workers, and journalists, all with the purpose of explaining and understanding the critical features of genocide and how to finally stop it.

Baltasar Garzon Entrevista Justicia sin Fronteras
Baltasar Garzon Entrevista Justicia sin Fronteras
Charla de Baltasar Garzon y Dolores Delgado moderada por Fernando Delgado en el ciclo La Justicia que Queremos dentro de El Mundo Que Queremos 2011. La justicia sin fronteras La Corte Penal Internacional es el último recurso que muchos países tienen para combatir la impunidad de los crímenes contra los derechos humanos. Este concepto de jurisdicción universal abrió la posibilidad a tribunales nacionales de sancionar violaciones de los derechos humanos cometidos fuera de competencia territorial. Baltasar Garzón armó el primer caso en el que se ha aplicado el principio de la jurisdicción universal a un ex Jefe de Estado. La actuación de Garzón en el caso del exdictador chileno Augusto Pinochet, supuso un hito en la historia del derecho. Este caso aportó un gran avance en la persecución de los crímenes internacionales contra los derechos humanos al fundamentar la declaración de extradición en la comisión de crímenes internacionales, que no estban cubiertos por la inmunidad que el derecho internacional otorga a los ex Jefes de Estado. Como es sabido, por razones de humanidad, el Gobierno de su Majestad británica decidió autorizar el retorno del declarado extraditable a su país (marzo del año 2000). Esta autorización permitió solucionar un punto de conflicto entre Inglaterra y Chile, cuyas históricas relaciones de amistad ambos Estados tenían seguramente interés en preservar. Los casos llevados por el que fuera Juez de la Audiencia Nacional se estudian actualmente en las
