CJPP is pleased to present internationally renowned South African Professor John Dugard in conversation with Professor Ben Saul, Challis Chair of International Law at the University of Sydney, with an introduction by Associate Professor Jake Lynch, Chair of the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Sydney.
John Dugard is a South African professor of International Law and Human Rights and has served on the International Court of Justice and as a Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories from 2001-2008.
As an outspoken critic of the policies of Israel in relation to Palestinians, Dugard has stated, “I’m a South African who lived through apartheid and I have no hesitation in saying that Israel’s crimes are infinitely worse than those committed by the apartheid regime of South Africa.”
He has written several books on apartheid, human rights, and international law and coauthored textbooks on criminal law and procedure and international law.
