International academic conference on “Discussing Stability and Peace in Turbulent Times: Local, Regional and International Ramifications of the War on Gaza”
Posted on 2024-11-22
The war on Gaza exceeded one year. Regardless of whether it will end soon or not, the massive death toll,
the humanitarian disaster and the extensive damage to essential infrastructure in the densely populated
Palestinian strip will keep international attention focused on the area for the foreseeable future. On the
one hand, the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, impeded the process of normalization of
relations between Israel and some Arab countries, which had experienced a period of détente and growth
since 2020. On the other hand, Israel’s response and widespread breaches of fundamental international
humanitarian law principles, along with the situations in Ukraine and Nagorno-Karabakh, heighten
concerns about the future of international norms designed to protect global peace and security. In fact,
this war proves that the broader Middle East cannot hope for enduring peace and stability as long as the
Palestinian question remains unresolved.
With these alarming signs in mind, the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Review (BSEMR),
published by the School of Law in the University of Nicosia and the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Black
Sea and Mediterranean Studies in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (ILABSEM AUTh) and Al Jazeera
Centre for Studies organize an international academic conference on “Discussing Stability and Peace in Turbulent Times:
Local, Regional and International Ramifications of the War on Gaza” in Thessaloniki, Wednesday 27
and Thursday 28 November 2024 in the premises of the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences in AUTh
(3rd floor, room 319). (Check the detailed program of the conference.)
