The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has been in the media frequently recently because of the four Genocide Convention cases before it. The cases have been brought against a variety of countries, Myanmar, Russia, Israel and Germany, and for a variety of reasons. This talk from two Australian international law experts will give an overview of the current Genocide Convention cases before the ICJ. After introducing the ICJ and its role, the talk will provide a clear outline of the current ICJ cases brought under the Genocide Convention, breaking down the complex legal process and arguments into a straightforward explanation for the lawyer and non-lawyer alike.
This event is organised in collaboration with the Centre for Muslims States and Societies of the University of Western Australia.
