SUMMARY:America's Game in the Middle East: The 2027 Qatar Basketball World Cup

SUMMARY:Humanization through International Law? The Global South's Role in Accountability
DESCRIPTION:South Africa’s presentation of its case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in January 2024 was a powerful assertion of humanity through law. Many have argued that international law is only as good as its enforcement. This talk engages in a discussion on such statements and on the role of Global South actors’ critical engagement in international law. \n\nSpeaker: Noha Aboueldahab (Georgetown University in Qatar) is an Assistant Professor of International Law at Georgetown University in Qatar\, and a Senior Non-Resident Fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs. Her second forthcoming book examines the role of Arab diasporas in using international law and transitional justice to push for political change in their home states. Aboueldahab sits on the advisory boards of several organizations\, and is regularly consulted by the media and policymakers on issues concerning law and politics in the Arab region.  \n\nModerator: Nadya Sbaiti (Georgetown University in Qatar).
