Online Book Launch
Disputed Territories and International Criminal Law: Israeli Settlements and the International Criminal Court
Author: Dr Simon McKenzie, Research Fellow, Law and the Future of War research group, University of Queensland Law School
The book will be launched by Prof. Tim McCormack, Professor of Law at the University of Tasmania and Special Adviser on International Humanitarian Law to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
It has been over 50 years since the beginning of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories. It is estimated that there are over 600,000 Israeli settlers living in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and they are supported, protected, and maintained by the Israeli state. This book discusses whether international criminal law could apply to those responsible for allowing and promoting this growth, and examines what this application reveals about the operation of international criminal law.
