As part of the Zoryan Institute’s ongoing commitment to examine contemporary issues of genocide and human rights we are pleased to announce our upcoming webinar, “South Africa v. Israel at the International Court of Justice: From the Perspective of International Law and Genocide.” Led by renowned international lawyer, Zoryan Institute Academic Board Member and GHRUP Faculty Member, Dr. William Schabas, this session marks the first implementation of the Institute’s concerted effort to incorporate more programming focused on Gaza. It will be taking place on Thursday, June 26, 2025 from 11:30 AM–1:00 PM EST on Zoom.
Dr. Schabas’ timely session will explore the historic case brought by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice regarding Israel’s conduct in the Gaza Strip. Dr. Schabas will provide an overview of the legal arguments at the heart of the case, examine how international law is used to address allegations of genocide and state aggression, and consider the broader significance of the proceedings for the global legal order and for efforts to hold states accountable for mass atrocity crimes.
We invite you to be part of this informative discussion on one of the most consequential legal cases of our time. Please find the event details below and link to register.
