Informationen zum Autor Richard Falk is Emeritus Professor of International Law at Princeton University in the United States. He served as UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 from 2008-2012, and is currently Chair of the Gaza Tribunal. He is a prolific writer on international law and global politics; his most recent publication is Genocide in Gaza: Global Voices of Conscience (co-editor with Ahmet Davutoglu). Klappentext Richard Falk has dedicated much of his life to the study of the Israel/Palestine conflict. In Palestine's Horizon, he brings his experiences to bear on one of the most controversial issues of our times. After enduring years of violent occupation, the Palestinian movement is exploring different avenues for peace. These include the pursuit of rights under international law through the UN and International Criminal Court, and the new emphasis on global solidarity and non-violent militancy embodied by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Campaign (BDS). In focusing on these new tactics of resistance, Falk refutes the notion that the Palestinian struggle is a 'lost cause'. He also reflects on the legacy of Edward Said and the importance of his humanist thought in order to present a vision of peace that is mindful of the formidable difficulties of achieving a just solution to the long conflict. Zusammenfassung The former UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine brings his life's work together to discuss how the region can find peace
