Gaza, Genocide and International Law

Join the Rutgers Center for Security, Race and Rights for a presentation by Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestine Territories, for an international legal and policy analysis of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza since October 8, 2023. In what numerous international legal scholars conclude constitutes a genocide, the Israeli military has killed over 54,000 Palestinians, injured over 120,000 Palestinians, severely restricted entrance of food aid and medicine causing mass starvation, destroyed every university, destroyed or damaged over 70% of buildings, destroyed or damaged 85% of schools, displaced 90% of the civilian population, and destroyed or severely damaged every hospital in Gaza.
