War on Gaza: Holding Account through International Law

by SOAS ICOP - Influencing the Corridors of Power

This event examines whether states can be held accountable under international law in relation to the current conflict. It poses sererious questions such as: What are the legal and diplomatic ramifications for committing genocide or war crimes? Can domestic courts hold governments to account on potential breaches of international law, such as the UK’s arms sales to Israel? This is part of our Palestine series that we have been running at SOAS and UK Parliament.

Speakers:

Francesca Albanese | UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories (Online)

Tayab Ali | Director, International Centre of Justice for Palestinians & Head of Int’l Law, Bindmans LLP

Dr Nimer Sultany | Reader in Law, SOAS University of London and Editor-in-Chief, Palestine Yearbook of Int’l Law

Yasmine Ahmed | UK Director, Human Rights Watch

Professor Neve Gordon | Professor of International Law & Human Rights, Queen Mary University of London
