Join Maynooth University and Northumbria University on Tuesday, July 9, from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Irish Standard Time / 4 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time for this in-person and virtual symposium.

Nine months into Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip, the daily atrocities continue and the UN food agencies are warning that half of Gaza’s population is now facing the risk of famine and death.  While the situation in Palestine has long been the focus of litigation and advocacy attempts to defend Palestinian rights in multiple legal arenas, these past months have brought an unprecedented set of developments in domestic and international courts.

To reflect on these developments and more, this symposium brings together leading practitioners and scholars of international law who have been at the forefront of pursuing and analyzing this emerging jurisprudence. 

Center for Constitutional Rights Senior Attorney Katherine Gallagher will speak on the fourth panel, “Domestic Courts and Complaints,” 2:30 – 4:00 p.m. Irish Standard Time / 9:30 a.m. - 11 a.m. Eastern Time. 

The event’s keynote speakers will be Raji Sourani (Founder and Director of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights in Gaza) and Professor William Schabas (Middlesex University, Leiden University). Other speakers include:
