 months of Israel’s accelerated genocide against the Palestinian people, 
 unrestrained by effective legal prophylaxes or accountability, has exposed 
 to the world a terrible crisis in international law. The International 
 Court of Justice has ordered preliminary measures, declaring that South 
 Africa’s case against Israel for genocide is plausible, while the 
 International Criminal Court Office has issued arrest warrants for Israeli 
 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The 
 International Court of Justice, in a July 2024 Advisory Opinion, determined 
 that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian Territory, including Gaza, West 
 Bank and East Jerusalem, continues, is illegal and must stop. Against this 
 backdrop of legal decisions and incontrovertible evidence of genocide, the 
 US, Germany and other states have continued to provide Israel with billions 
 of dollars in weaponry, and the US invited Netanyahu and other Israeli 
 politicians to be honoured at the US Congress. The illegality of Israel’s 
 war against Palestinians is at the same time obscured by claims advanced by 
 the US and other states that the Israeli war, determined as ‘plausible 
 genocide,’ is just part of a so-called “rules-based international 
 order.” Domestic and international institutions and legal systems have 
 appeared largely co-opted by the US. Join the Monique and Roland Weyl 
 People’s Academy of International Law for an informative, analytical and 
 practice-oriented seminar and discussion on what meaningful utility remains 
 for international law and legal institutions in a time of genocide and 
 impunity.\n\nSpeakers:\nRaji Sourani, Director of Palestinian Centre for 
 Human Rights\nFrancesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied 
 Palestinian Territories\nMaria LaHood, Deputy Legal Director at Center for 
 Constitutional Rights\nShahd Hammouri, Lecturer in Law at Kent Law School 
 in the UK\nModerated by Dean Marjorie Cohn\n
