The podcast episodes discuss various aspects of international law and war crimes, including the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to charge Israeli leaders with war crimes and the challenges of achieving justice and accountability for alleged atrocities, such as the ones committed by Russian forces in Bucha, Ukraine.

The episodes explore the tensions between national interests, international law, and the pursuit of justice, as well as the role of journalism and public awareness in maintaining focus on these issues despite potential 'war fatigue'.

The topic of international law and war crimes is closely tied to broader geopolitical conflicts, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, and the Yemen conflict, as well as issues related to U.S. foreign policy, diplomacy, and the perceived double standards in the application of international law.
