Jerusalem: Legalising the Occupation

Join Middle East Monitor on Saturday 3rd March 2018, for a full day conference. Jerusalem is once again in the international spotlight. Following US President Donald Trump’s unilateral decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, world leaders and international organisations rallied to condemn the move and its disregard for the final status negotiations of the 1993 Oslo Accords. The issue of Jerusalem can be understood through a variety of lenses, each of which affords a unique insight into the question at hand. This conference seeks to analyse recent developments through a historical and legal framework, analysing the impact of the continued occupation of Jerusalem and the international negotiations. We will be live streaming the conference all day on this page, and follow the live blog below for all the important highlights.
