Academics for Palestine and Irish Lawyers for Palestine, in association with Academia for Palestine TCD and the MPhil in Race, Ethnicity and Conflict in Trinity College Dublin, are hosting this important public lecture by Ardi Imseis on ‘Palestine at the UN and the ICJ: Challenging Injustice’.
In the context of Israel’s genocidal attacks on Gaza and the various efforts to challenge it at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the UN Security Council and General Assembly, the work of Ardi Imseis and his new book on The United Nations and the Question of Palestine could not be more urgent and timely.
Please join us: 6pm, Thursday 25 April, Robert Emmet Theatre, Arts Block, Trinity College Dublin,
All welcome.

The United Nations and the Question of Palestine
Based on primary archival materials and Ardi Imseis’s first-hand experience as a UN Official in Palestine for over a decade, his book on The United Nations and the Question of Palestine aims to provide a critical international legal perspective on why and how the question of Palestine remains a festering wound on the conscience of the international community.
