#09 - From Allende to Gaza: Claiming the Agency of the People
1Description
This episode is a recording of a talk by Shahd Hammouri that took place at Framer Framed on Saturday, 14 October 2023, during the symposium Revisiting the Past, Shaping the Future. Through a set of short roundtables talks, the event aimed to understand pivotal historical events and their influence on today's global political environment.
Hammouri speaks about how the words of former Chilean president Salvador Allende specifically give agency to people around the world and links them to the ongoing Palestinian struggle for liberation and self-determination.
“Ethical loneliness is the result of multiple lapses on the part of human beings and political institutions in failing to listen well to the survivors, to deny them redress by negating their testimony and thwarting their claim to justice.”
Shahd Hammouri is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Kent. Her research lies at the intersection of Public International Law, International Economic Law and Legal Theory. She is a member of the Executive Committee at Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights.
The symposium Revisiting the Past, Shaping the Future was co-organised by SOMO, TNI, OLAA and Framer Framed.
