About the Webinar
Allegations of genocide by Israel against the Palestinian people in Gaza took a significant legal step forward when South Africa, a party to the Genocide Convention, recently announced legal action against Israel at the International Court of Justice. This panel will discuss the legal and political issues surrounding the crime of genocide and Israel’s war on Gaza and shed light on legal definitions and avenues for accountability, as well as the political prospects and ramifications of failing to act within the genocide framework.
