DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nAs Israel invades Rafah–threatening the lives of a 
 million Palestinians, South Africa returns to the International Court of 
 Justice (ICJ) to ask the World Court to order Israel to withdraw from Rafah 
 as part of additional emergency measures. \n\nBack in January, the World 
 Court, the highest judicial body of the United Nations, ordered Israel to 
 prevent genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and to punish incitement to 
 commit genocide, both treaty obligations under the UN Convention on 
 Genocide.\n\nIsrael ignored those orders. Now what?\n\nJoin us as we 
 discuss the latest developments in South Africa v. Israel, as well as UN 
 efforts to secure full voting membership for Palestine. \n\nSpecial 
 Guests\nFrancis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University 
 of Illinois College of Law.  Boyle served on the board of Amnesty 
 International, as counsel to Bosnia and Herzegovina and to the Provisional 
 Government of the State of Palestine. He has represented two associations 
 of citizens within Bosnia and was involved in developing the indictment 
 against Slobodan Milosević for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war 
 crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He also drafted the U.S. domestic 
 implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention, known as 
 the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, that was approved 
 unanimously by both Houses of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by 
 President George H.W. Bush.\n\nSam Husseini is a Jordanian-Palestinian 
 independent journalist based in Washington, D.C, and the founder of 
 VotePact.org, which fosters left-right cooperation. He is also 
 communications director for the Institute for Public Accuracy, a consortium 
 of policy analysts. Husseini has written articles for the Nation, the 
 Washington Post, USA Today, Salon and CounterPunch. His latest articles on 
 Substack raise these questions, “Is the International Criminal Court 
 itself criminal? Are arrested student protesters the ones actually 
 upholding international law?” A graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, 
 Husseini earned a double bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics and 
 logic and computation\n
