Most war criminals go unpunished. But when it comes to the war in Ukraine, where Russian forces have been accused of committing extreme acts of torture, victims may eventually find justice. Janine Di Giovanni, the executive director of The Reckoning Project, [uncovers]( how Argentina is using victim testimony from the conflict to prosecute perpetrators under a legal principle known as universal jurisdiction. “Is universal jurisdiction a perfect form of justice?” she writes. “No. But it provides a path forward.” Zooming out from foreign affairs, in an [interview]( with Meena Ganesan, presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin imparts some words of wisdom from her time writing about—and living through—the political turbulence of the ’60s. Plus, Mark McKinnon [bashes]( New Hampshire governor Chris Sununu for kissing Trump’s ring, while Eric Lutz [observes]( the MAGA right flirting with increasingly violent rhetoric. Thanks for reading.
