Sonnia Güell, Professor of International Law at our faculty, has published an urgent podcast to provide an initial legal assessment of the recent interception of vessels carrying humanitarian aid bound for Gaza.
In the podcast, Dr. Güell argues that the boarding and detention of activists by the Israeli navy violate public international law. She maintains that the actions against the Global Sumud Flotilla lack legal justification and stresses the importance of ensuring the protection of civilian humanitarian missions in international waters.
In addition, the media have interviewed the professor to delve deeper into her analysis.
The interview can be watched in this video, and the full analysis can be listened to on the podcast available on Spotify.
