For the past two decades, Palestinians have chosen to pursue their claims against Israel through litigation at the international courts.
In this webinar Prof. Steve Zipperstein will analyse the Palestinian legal claims, discussing the relevant legal history, the Oslo Accords, the status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, statehood and Jerusalem.
