On this episode, we speak to Professor Alfred de Zayas, a former UN independent expert and author of ‘Building a Just World Order’. He discusses the distrust among some of the global public towards the United Nations, Britain ignoring UN Rapporteur Nils Melzer’s report that Julian Assange is being tortured and his call for him to be freed, his work in Venezuela investigating human rights abuses and how the Venezuelan government cooperated with his requests, the US’ and NATO allies’ use of ‘humanitarian interventions’ to pursue regime change in countries like Libya, and the use of unilateral sanctions which have a devastating humanitarian impact, the public being lied to by mainstream media outlets, and much more.
