In this special episode of Guerrilla History, we bring you a crossover episode done in collaboration with The Majlis, a project by the Muslim Societies Global Perspectives project at Queens University, which is hosted by our own Adnan Husain (so be sure to subscribe on your podcast app!). Here, Adnan and Dr. Ardi Imseis, explore the complexities of international law, human rights and the urgent imperative of addressing the current situation of Palestine. Through meticulous research and unwavering dedication to justice, Imseis's scholarship offers invaluable insights into the legal frameworks that underpin the Palestinian struggle. As we unpack the historical narratives and contemporary realities shaping the question of Palestine, Imseis's work serves as a guiding beacon, challenging prevailing norms and advocating for a rights-based approach to peace and justice.

Ardi Imseis joined the Queen’s University Faculty of Law in 2018, following a 12-year career as a UN official in the Middle East, first with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and then with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
