How do current laws influence the prospects of peace between Israelis and Palestinians and how relevant are international law, and in particular human rights relevant to a future peace? Drawing on his long-time experiences in South Africa and in the region described by many as Israel-Palestine, Dr Jeff Handmaker will reflect on peace-setting precedents elsewhere in the world which also have experienced deep, ethno-national divisions.
In the summer of 2018, Israel passed the Nation-State Law. What does this law say and what are its implications for a just and peaceful future between Israelis and Palestinians? How is international law, and in particular human rights relevant to a future peace between Israel and Palestinians?
Explore with him the possibility of crafting a law and human rights-based solution to the longstanding impasse between Israel and the Palestinians.
