Can the rule of law be the cornerstone of fair and just international relations? Join us on Ideagen as we sit down with Nick Laragakis, President & CEO of the American Hellenic Institute to explore this pressing issue. Nick dives into the inconsistencies plaguing global responses to violations, shedding light on the contrasting reactions to Turkey's prolonged occupation of Cyprus and Russia's aggressive actions in Ukraine. The conversation underscores the need for a universal application of the rule of law, emphasizing how double standards undermine justice and integrity on the world stage. Prepare for an eye-opening discussion on the rising geostrategic importance of Cyprus and the strategic dialogue between Cyprus and the United States, which is reshaping the geopolitical landscape.
In the latter part of our conversation, we shift focus to Greece's significant role in the Eastern Mediterranean. Positioned as a critical nexus for energy, transit, shipping, trade, and communications, Greece—and, by extension, Cyprus—plays an essential role in sustaining regional peace and stability. Nicholas and I unpack how this strategic positioning bolsters US interests, highlighting the importance of advocating for Greece's and Cyprus's roles within Washington policy circles. We also delve into how fostering a strong, synchronous relationship between the United States and Greece enhances mutual benefits, reinforcing the indispensability of the rule of law in fortifying these partnerships. Tune in for an enriching dialogue that champions consistency and fairness in international law and relations.
