We asked Prof. Falk specifically about the Palestinian people’s right to defend themselves, and, specifically, about armed struggle and its consistency (or lack thereof) with international law.
Professor Richard Falk’s insights on international law, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the failure of global institutions provide a compelling analysis in this FloodGate interview with Ramzy Baroud and Romana Rubeo.
Let me strongly recommend Ramzy Baroud’s book, which really gives an insight into the torment of the prisoners and their struggle for dignity and how important they are as symbols of the most prolonged resistance to an unjust political situation in modern times.
According to Professor Falk, history is clearly on the side of Palestinians, who are already “winning the legitimacy war”.
Palestine Chronicle TV hosted Professor Emeritus of International Law Richard Falk. Professor Falk, an acclaimed author, was also the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights between 2008-14.
