Interview
Will The ICJ Try Israel On Charges Of Apartheid?
In an unprecedented move, allegations of Israel practicing apartheid are being examined by the International Court of Justice (ICJ). MEMO in Conversation interviews Dr Victor Kattan to discuss the groundbreaking developments surrounding the allegations of Israeli apartheid made before the ICJ and the potential impact of an authoritative apartheid finding by the World Court.
An Assistant Professor of Public International Law at the University of Nottingham, Kattan highlights the possibility of the reactivation of UN mechanisms such as the Special Committee Against Apartheid, and the lessons learned from the international community's response to apartheid in South Africa during the Cold War.
Kattan provided insight into the distinction between proving the crimes of apartheid and genocide, as well as the role of ad hoc institutions in enforcing international law, while discussing the recent decision by the Appeals Court of The Hague in the Netherlands, which suspended F-35 parts shipments to Israel, as a potential precedent for restricting arms transfers. Kattan offered valuable perspectives on the critical steps needed to address the allegations of Israeli apartheid and ensure the protection of Palestinian rights under international law.
Victor is the author of one monograph, four edited books, and more than 30 single authored articles that have been published in peer reviewed journals. He has also published widely on social media, including scholarly blogs, and his scholarship has been cited by the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), states in advisory proceedings before the ICJ, Special Rapporteurs to the UN Human Rights Council, the Congressional Research Service, and leading academics.
His recent publications include an edited book with Brian Cuddy, titled 'Making Endless War: The Vietnam and Arab-Israeli Conflicts in the History of International Law' and 'The Breakup of India and Palestine: The Causes and Legacies of Partition' which he edited with Amit Ranjan.

The Spy In Your Phone
In mid-2020, a mobile phone belonging to an Al Jazeera Arabic investigative team was hacked. Over the next few months, reporter Tamer Almisshal and the Canadian research group Citizen Lab investigated Pegasus, the sophisticated spyware used.
Pegasus is manufactured by an Israeli technology company called the NSO Group and is among the most advanced spyware in the world. It can access and infiltrate a smartphone without the owner clicking a link, opening an email or even answering their phone - meaning it can go undetected.
This investigation exposes how Pegasus works, how governments like Saudi Arabia and the UAE have bought the hugely expensive spyware and how it has been used beyond the stated intentions of the NSO Group of “developing technology to prevent and investigate terror and crime” - including to target journalists.

Photo of the Day
A Texas beef processing factory, with cattle about to be slaughtered in the foreground. A 2006 study found that children living near confined animal-feeding operations were at greater risk of asthma, while locals reported a higher prevalence of headaches and respiratory symptoms.
An investigation in Texas found that at least 100 complaints about fecal dust and the smell from feedlots were registered over a nine-year period. Matter generated by cattle in feedlots has been identified as a human health hazard, causing respiratory and cardiovascular issues.
Across the state there are almost 100 beef feedlots holding 500 or more cattle. These feedlots house 2.6 million animals, meaning each holds an average of more than 26,000 cattle.
Each beef cow produces roughly 23,000lbs of manure annually, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That’s an estimated 60.6bn lbs of manure from the feedlots in 2017 – roughly equivalent to the manure produced by a city of 44.6 million people, according to Food and Water Watch.
