Janine di Giovanni's reckoning with war criminals

MAY 27, 202626 MIN

Description

<p>Janine di Giovanni has been a war correspondent for more than thirty years. She's been  shot at, kidnapped and held at gunpoint. She’s written about massacres at Srebrenica, atrocities in Kosovo, the mass killings in Rwanda, and of course Palestine. “I thought I’d seen the worst of humanity,” she wrote on X last year. “I was wrong. Nothing compares to Gaza — or the complicity letting it happen.” </p><p>When Russia began bombing Ukraine in 2022, di Giovanni decided reporting atrocities was not enough. She wanted perpetrators of war crimes held to account. So she and Ukrainian-born British journalist, Peter Pomerantsev, founded <a href="https://www.thereckoningproject.com/">The Reckoning Project,</a> to train journalists to do more than write stories; they gather evidence that can be used to prosecute war crimes. </p><ul><li>Guest: Janine di Giovanni, war correspondent, CEO and co-founder of The Reckoning Project</li><li>Producer: Catherine Zengerer</li></ul>
