    Overview

    Description
    Interview with Benjamin Ferencz. Host: Kenneth Simon
    Ferencz discusses his involvement with the peace process as a constructive contribution to the world. He wants to make permanent what he and others did at Nuremberg: 1) prohibit aggression by making war a crime; 2) prohibit crimes against humanity; 3) prohibit war crimes. He speaks about both the failure and progress of the United Nations and charges all people as particularly responsible for not inducing change for a more peaceful world. Ferencz defines the fundamental components of a system of international peace that will tear down bureacracy: 1) disarmament; 2) effective economic sanctions; 3) United Nations military force; and 4) enhanced enforcement. Furthermore, he identifies three critical features of an international criminal court (all of which are void in the current international arena): 1) laws; 2) courts; and 3) enforcement. Ferencz criticizes sovereignty as irrational and calls for reason and cooperation to better serve the people. He closes demanding improvement, tolerance, compassion, involvement, and ultimately, peace.

    Film Provenance
    Benjamin B. Ferencz donated his collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in October 1994.
    Note
    B. Ferencz and K. Simon practiced law together for over fifteen years. The tone of the interview, therefore, is more casual and open, and as a result, somewhat more revealing.
