On January 11, 2024, the South African legal team argued at the International Court of Justice that Israel, in action and intent, breached the 1948 Genocide Convention by perpetrating the following acts of genocide in Gaza: mass killings of Palestinians; bodily and mental harm; forced displacement and food blockade; destruction of the healthcare system; and preventing Palestinian births.
Join the Palestine Program for Health and Human Rights for a webinar with legal and public health experts to discuss South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. The event will focus on the connection between Israel’s long-standing attacks on the right to health in Palestine and the crime of genocide.
This webinar is co-sponsored by the Religion, Conflict, and Peace Initiative at Harvard Divinity School, the Carr Center for Human Rights, and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University.
