About This Event
With the deaths of tens of thousands, the displacement of approximately two million, and the widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure in Gaza since October 7th, the international community faces a long-term humanitarian crisis. What does the future hold for Palestinian refugees and IDPs created by the current conflict? Many Palestinians justly insist on their right to return and rebuild their society. But how can the international community protect their lives and dignity in the meantime? Sensitive to the complexities involved, scholars of international law and US politics discuss the question of refugee protection and resettlement as a partial response to this urgent crisis, recognizing that all people have a right to safety and home.
Panelists Include
- Prof. Wale Olumodimu (Gonzaga University) - will provide the international law context
- Dr. Shyam Sriram (Canisius University) - will provide the US social and political context
Dr. Shannon Dunn will moderate.
