Courts as Combatants: How Lawfare Is Reshaping the Global Order

Organized by: Macdonald-Laurier Institute — https://www.eventbrite.com/o/11151595539
The Macdonald-Laurier Institute is pleased to invite you to our upcoming event!
Israel’s fight to defend itself extends far beyond the battlefield. In international courts
and global institutions, legal forums have become a central front in the campaign
against the Jewish state. When Israel’s adversaries wield lawfare as a bludgeon, what
does this mean for the credibility of these institutions? And how should democracies
defend themselves when the very institutions meant to uphold the rules-based order
become part of the fight? Join Judge Roy Altman, author of Israel on Trial: Examining
the History, the Evidence, and the Law, in conversation with Alan Kessel, Senior Fellow, Macdonald-Laurier Institute, for an exclusive Ottawa event exploring these critical
questions and the stakes for Israel, Canada, and like-minded democracies.
