Please join the EUI Law Department WG on Palestine -
We want to propose that European University Institute be an inclusive & anti-Apartheid campus by:
1) Calling for ceasefire
2) Funding Palestinian scholars
3) Adopting the anti-Zionist (Jerusalem declaration) definition of antisemitism

Ahead of South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, I spoke with Andrew Feinstein about our responsibility to speak up for Palestine, for peace and for our shared humanity.

Don’t understate what a powerful moment this is. Listening as South Africa’s legal team present this case at the ICJ, after decades of inactivity by the international community; UNSC vetoes, blocked petitions to the ICC, etc. The 1st real attempt at accountability since 1948.

Are you interested in the British Empire during the time of the League of Nations? Look no further. On Monday 15 January, 15.00-17.00 ECT, HEC Department visiting fellow, Thomas Gidney will give a fascinating presentation about colonial membership and the LON.

I begin my month of archive trips in the National Archives of South Africa. I'm happy to be here for the next week before I head to Zimbabwe and Zambia 🌳💜

The 'terrorism' lens as applied to #Gaza #Palestine is doing exactly what it always does - deliberately decontextualising events to promote a violent militarised status quo, prioritising Western lives over non-Western, and absolutely enabling State destruction and repression.
