you mean the rohingya refugees? the rohingya refugees, who had crossed the border from myanmar to bangladesh, sat in front of television boxes and computers watching the proceedings, thinking how astonishing that they are being held to account. and, you know, i had a conversation a week before that with the former judge of the international court ofjustice a wonderful man, thomas buergenthal, who d been a child at auschwitz, who had been in the care ofjosef mengele. he survived and he went on to have a wonderful career and he said to me, can you imagine, philippe, if in 1944, when i was in auschwitz, there was a law called the prevention and punishment of genocide? and there was an international court to which a faraway country could go and say you can t do this ? it may not be everything, it may not be perfect, but it s a lot better than nothing. philippe sands, it s been a pleasure having you on hardtalk. thank you very much. thank you, stephen.
