‘War Crimes’ – do we use the term too casually? Commentators have usually assumed the Israel-Palestine armed conflict might be lawful, even if individual incidents on both sides attracted condemnation. But is that assumption right? May the conflict lack legality, on one or both sides?
The 2014 Israeli-Gaza conflict allows exploration of some of the underlying issues. General Nick Parker explains how he advised Geoffrey Nice to approach the conflict’s legality from a military point of view. Geoffrey Nice explains what conclusions he then reached. Were war crimes committed by either side?
This lecture will be followed by extended discussion with a panel of experts. Ends 8pm.
This is a free public lecture by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, Gresham Professor of Law.
There is no need to book in advance for this lecture. It runs on a first come first served basis.
