What do we mean by “International Law?” Who makes it? What areas does it cover? Who enforces it? Who is subject to it? And does it really exist at all?

The speaker will be Alice Panepinto. This will be a wonderful opportunity to explore this key issue with someone who has wide experience in many aspects of the application of international law and justice, especially in Palestine.

Light Refreshments will be available at the event.
