Author, attorney, human rights advocate, social critic, and
long time tenured professor at University of Illinois School of Law,
Francis Boyle is also one of the most outstanding authorities on, and
proponents of, international law and accountability of world
leaders.
In our conversation he addresses the struggles of individuals,
groups and countries to protect their rights; the training of the next
generation of human rights and international law attorneys;
progress in accountability of world leaders for international crimes;
the notorious University of Chicago and its two most odious products,
the Chicago Boys and uberneocon, Leo Strauss; and the building Hawaiian
Sovereignty Movement. Secession, anyone?
It must be emphasized that Boyle is not an ivory tower
academic but an in the trenches - and in the face of imperialists and
war criminals - practicing attorney for issues, causes, and cases
currently in progress worldwide. Like Ramsey Clark, he is among a
handful of authorities that bring a long history of direct experience
to bear on current events and has the vision, expertise, and will to
speak truth to power and act boldly in the vanguard of the struggle for
human rights.
The hour that we spend together only begins to touch the range
of his activities and experience. Do visit the sites on the
right for more information on his writings and activities.
