Following the horrific events of October 7, the violence unfolding in Israel and Gaza has continued to loom large in the press, social media and in conversations more broadly in Australia and around the world.
This event will provide an overview on the basic concepts of international law, and how the matters before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and International Criminal Court (ICC) are playing out on campuses here at home.
We will explore how international events are impacting Australia and provide audience members with the tools to take steps towards addressing the rising tensions locally , including issues of antisemitism, Islamophobia, online forums and community safety.
This conversation will stress the need to strengthen social cohesion during these difficult times.
As matters both locally and globally develop each week, the conversation will be guided by the most pressing issues and relevant developments.
The perspectives of panellists will help bring a nuanced conversation around our Australian society, the current international reality and work towards building social cohesion and harmony, even in the face of rising tensions.
This is a joint event with NIF Australia.
