Genocide is often called the ultimate crime and after every
tragedy, the world says 'it must never happen again'. And yet it
does. Hardtalk speaks to leading international human rights
lawyer Payam Akhavan, who made his name trying to bring to
justice those responsible for war crimes in the former
Yugoslavia. He believes that the international community has a
duty to challenge human rights abuses wherever they occur. But is
true justice ever really possible - or is it compromised by the
political constraints and realities of the day?
