Description

In this episode, we dive into one of the most complex and debated issues in international law: the recognition of the State of Palestine.
What is Palestine’s current status at the United Nations? Does it meet the legal criteria for statehood? And what would recognition by countries like France mean for its future on the global stage?
We’ll unpack these questions and more, looking at the legal foundations, political implications, and whether recognition could help advance peace efforts in the region.
Our guest today is Fuad Zarbiyev, Professor of International Law and, Faculty Associate at Global Governance Centre here at the Geneva Graduate Institute.
