Law & Disorder: Israel's Application of International Legal Principles to the OPT
June 23, 2009
George Bisharat, Professor of Law Hastings College of Law, University of California. Lecture Topic: How Israel's Impunity is Transforming International Law. Prof. Bisharat will use the recent assault on Gaza to discuss how Israeli jurists are deliberately trying to rewrite international law to its advantage, and make otherwise illegal activities legal. In addition, the long-term international law implications of unpunished Israeli abuses will be examined.
