Panel 8 : Europe's responsibilities : from the failure of Oslo to the destruction of Gaza
Moderated by Emilio Dabed, York University (Toronto)
This final panel sets out an epistemic framework to show how Europe has frustrated the two-state solution. Perpetually circumventing the rules laid down by their own institutions, Europe's leaders have directly undermined their own principles, serving the interests of individuals rather than those of member states and regional players. This discrepancy between saying and doing now leads to accusations of complicity in the genocide, as the EU has failed to respond adequately to the opinions of the two international courts of justice.
