Episode 196: Unpacking the ICJ’s Ruling: South Africa v. Israel and the Quest for Justice

In this compelling episode of The International Risk Podcast, we are joined by Professor S. Michael Lynk, renowned legal scholar and former UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory. Together, we dive deep into the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) landmark ruling in the South Africa v. Israel case, which declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories illegal and highlighted violations of international law, including apartheid.

Professor Lynk unpacks the legal, humanitarian, and geopolitical implications of this decision, its impact on Palestinian rights, and its broader significance for global accountability mechanisms. We also explore the role of the Global South, the challenges of enforcing international rulings, and the evolving power of international law in addressing state conduct and systemic inequality.

Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on one of the most pressing international legal issues of our time!
