Making Justice a Reality. With Deborah Ruiz Verduzco

Today is International Human Rights Day! Human Rights are the
fundamental freedoms and protections that belong to every person,
ensuring dignity, equality, and safety. They include the right to
life, freedom from torture, and protection against
discrimination. Unfortunately, Human Rights cannot be taken for
granted and are often violated, for instance through war crimes
or crimes against humanity. This makes their protection a global
priority. The International Criminal Court (ICC) works to hold
perpetrators accountable and support victims. Its Trust Fund for
Victims (TFV) provides reparations and assistance, helping
survivors of atrocities rebuild their lives. Today’s guest is the
TFV’s Executive Director Deborah Ruiz Verduzco. In this episode,
we talk about what justice means, explore the role of the ICC and
TFV in defending Human Rights, and discuss how ongoing global
conflicts influence the field.
