Quotes 

• Yehudi Henuhin, Himself : You see, I perceive from the assumption that *every* human being is guilty - by degree, by association, by being human. If they did it here, it is not that it could not happen in America. It is not that it could not happen elsewhere.

• Yehudi Henuhin, Himself : Judgement is a retroactive affair and very important it is too. I think that so long as people are guilty of crimes and perpetrating them, judgement is essential. Today torture has become as international as anything else. I mean, the means, the know-how, is supplied by the United States and Russia and is practiced in Brazil and in Chile. And we must combat universal evil; which is no longer confined to borders or to systems. When I speak with the Germans, I feel that my role is not to judge. I feel that there must be judges. There must be law. Law must be enforced and law should be universal. But, I'm not the judge. I think its always if the judge is someone who himself doesn't suffer from the action or is someone who is just won the battle. I think judgement should ideally come from within the person who has committed the crime.
