DESCRIPTION:The conduct of Israel and Hamas in this year’s war on Gaza, resulting in 
 over 1100 dead in Gaza and 8 dead in Israel, has come under intense 
 scrutiny – and criticism – from human rights organizations and most 
 recently, from the UN Human Rights Council’s investigative team, led by 
 jurist Richard Goldstone.\n\n\nSarah Leah Whitson, Director of the Middle 
 East &  North Africa Division, Human Rights Watch, will present her 
 organization’s findings on the war in Gaza , on which they have released 
 6 reports to date, assessing the extent to which Israel and Hamas complied 
 with the laws of war. She will describe the research conducted by the 
 organization in Gaza and Israel and the obstacles it has faced in carrying 
 out its work; the methodology used to establish its conclusions; and the 
 advocacy efforts it has undertaken to focus attention on the recent war.  
 Whitson will present a short documentary video (8 mins) on one particular 
 aspect of the war – the use of white phosphorous in civilian areas – to 
 give a flavor of how the organization gathers evidence from the 
 battlefield, in this case.\nWhat: Special event with Sarah Leah Whitson 
 from Human Rights Watch\nWhen: Thursday, November 19th from 12:45 pm to 
 1:45 pm\nWhere: YWCA, 2600 Bancroft Way (Bancroft and Bowditch)\nLunch
