Last month, the Palestinian Authority petitioned to join the
International Criminal Court. In a move drawing criticism from both the U.S.
and Israel, the Court accepted Palestine and opened
up preliminary inquiries into war crimes and human rights abuses committed by
Israel.
Palestine’s pursuit of a higher court is not an unusual move
given the relative inaccessibility to the Israeli Judiciary by Palestinians. To
that effect, GW Law’s International and Comparative Law program is hosting a talk on the
availability of Israeli courts to Palestinian Plaintiffs. If you wish to learn
more, hop on the orange or blue line over to Foggy Bottom next Monday February
23, to hear from Professor Michael Karayanni speak.
