October 9, 1 to 4 p.m.: Philippe Sands explores the subject of ‘impunity’, a central theme of 38 Londres Street, the third in his East West Street trilogy, and of our times. He draws on the twin tales of General Augusto Pinochet’s arrest in London, his connections with Walther Rauff, an SS wanted for mass murder who fetched up as the manager of a king crab cannery working in Punta Arenas, in Chilean Patagonia, and the recent US Supreme Court ruling on the presumptive immunity of a former US president for all ‘official acts’.
