Roger Clark has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Roger spoke to us about the things he did that lead to his nomination.
We learned that the he was presenting cases to the International Court of Justice on nuclear weapons testing and their effect on small countries that did not have the voice to stop the testing in their part of the world.
The court, we learned, hears 2 types of cases. One is Advisory and the other is Contentious.
Advisory cases seek the court's opinion. Contentious cases seek to decide is there is a violation of law. This gets into the area of jurisdiction.
Roger explained how he started on this work in the 60's. He is still working on it.
