Diakonia, Avocats Sans Frontières and Al-Haq have the pleasure to invite you to a workshop about the exploration of strategic legal avenues to address accountability for violations of international law committed in the context of Israel and Palestine.
The event will take place in Brussels on
17 December 2009from 9:00 to 18:00 at
Résidence Palace – International Press Centre
Room Maelbeek
Rue de la Loi 155 – Bloc C
The workshop is a follow-up event to last year’s “Making Monitoring Work”, which brought together Palestinian, Israeli and European Human Rights NGOs and lawyers to discuss strategies to combat impunity for violations of international law.
Last year’s seminar focused on legal accountability in Israel and on
networking between local Israeli/Palestinian and European lawyers to
discuss approaches to enforce international law in Europe. This year, the
event will address access to legal remedies and strategic advocacy, and
aims at consolidating networks and concrete action plans. The workshop shall be conducted, amongst others, by experts on corporate accountability and legal advocacy, offering the participants a valuable
opportunity to network and to engage in discussion with international legal experts.
Please find attached a draft programme of the workshop, the final version
will be sent to you shortly. To confirm your participation, please contact grazia_diakonia palnet.com
