DESCRIPTION:Professor Falk will talk about the situation in Gaza, the rulings of the 
 ICJ and the ICC and how they are being, or can be, enforced by the 
 signatories of the convention, and the crumbling of the pillars which are 
 foundational to U.S. democracy, i.e. the Supreme Court and Congress, which 
 he wrote about recently in a Counterpunch article.  Falk's criticism of 
 Pres. Biden was trenchant, and while Biden has left the presidential race 
 since the article was published, Falk's comments on U.S. democracy are 
 still salient.  As he writes, "We must ask ourselves whether such a failure 
 to include the citizenry in evaluating foreign policy that much of the 
 public dissents from is in keeping with an existential commitment to 
 democratic styles of governance." \n\nRichard Falk is Professor Emeritus of 
 International Law at Princeton University; former UN Special Rapporteur on 
 the Occupied Territories for the UN Human Rights Council 2008-2014.\n
