Philippe Sands - 38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England, and a Nazi in Patagonia
Sun, Nov 9 at 6pm
International human rights barrister, Professor of Law in London and at Harvard, award-winning author of East West Street, Philippe Sands discusses his enthralling book, 38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England, and a Nazi in Patagonia.
Blending memoir, history, detective story and a courtroom drama (in which he took part), Sands uncovers connections between the 1998 London arrest of Chilean dictator Pinochet, mass murder in South America, and atrocities in the Nazi era. He considers the role of international law in holding leaders accountable for crimes against humanity, and reflects on the concept of ‘impunity’, issues relevant to our own times.
