The September 2009 UN-sponsored report by Richard Goldstone concerning the
Gaza conflict has generated considerable controversy. Were war crimes
committed? What are the limits of self-defense?
In this forum, 3 experts will reflect on the flaws and achievements of
the report and on the difficulties of human rights fact finding in an
intensely politicized and polemicized conflict.
Panelists:
David Kretzmer, Professor Emeritus at the Hebrew University Faculty of
Law and Chair of the Board of Directors of B'Tselem, The Israeli Information
Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories.
Ruti Teitel, Ernst C. Stiefel Professor of Comparative Law at New York
Law School and Visiting Professor at the London School of Economics
(2010-2013).
Fred Abrahams, Senior Emergencies Researcher at Human Rights Watch.
Moderated by Nehal Bhuta, Assistant Professor, The New School Graduate
Program in International Affairs
