It's probably the most important judicial ruling regarding peace and juctice in the Middle East that you've never heard about. In July 2004, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) known as the World Court, gave a landmark opinion in favor of Palestine on borders, the Wall, settlements, and Jerusalem, which are all final status questions on Israel's occupation of Palestine. Come hear our three distinguished panelists discuss this landmark opinion to create a just and peaceful resolution of the Israel Palestine conflict.
