Today, however, some 70 years later, the world still lacks a global treaty for the prevention and punishment of such crimes despite their ongoing perpetration. Never Again features stark testimony from survivors of these continuing crimes and calls from international experts working to remedy this gap in international law and justice to present a compelling case for the adoption of a new global treaty by the international community. This film also features the testimony of St. Louis survivor, Ben Fainer, of blessed memory. A short film about his life will also be screened.Introductory remarks and post-screening discussion facilitated by filmmaker Leila Sadat, the James Carr Professor of International Criminal Law and Director of the Whitney R. Harris World Law Institute at Washington University School of Law.
