Current Genocide Convention Cases in the International Court of Justice
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has been in the media frequently recently because of the four Genocide Convention cases before it. The cases have been brought against a variety of countries, Myanmar, Russia, Israel and Germany, and for a variety of reasons. This talk from two Australian international law experts will give an overview of the current Genocide Convention cases before the ICJ. After introducing the ICJ and its role, the talk will provide a clear outline of the current ICJ cases brought under the Genocide Convention, breaking down the complex legal process and arguments into a straightforward explanation for the lawyer and non-lawyer alike.
This event is organised in collaboration with the Centre for Muslims States and Societies of the University of Western Australia.

Reunifying Ireland
Since Ireland was partitioned in 1920 its reunification has seemed impossible. Many still feel that way, partly because of the bloody legacy of past conflict. In the North, however, the demographic majority of Ulster Protestants is lost, and Ulster unionists are no longer the largest voting bloc: in the 2023 local government elections their combined support fell below 40 per cent, compared to the combined Northern nationalist vote of 44 per cent. Referendums on reunification may be on the horizon but even those who want reunification are not prepared. Distinguished political scientist Brendan O'Leary—profoundly engaged with the Irish question for nearly four decades—addresses what needs to be done to ensure adequate preparation, drawing on his books and research he has led on public opinion conducted under the auspices of ARINS, a joint initiative of the University of Notre Dame and the Royal Irish Academy.
Please join us at this special event at which our distinguished guest speaker Professor the Hon Gareth Evans AC KC FASSA FAIIA will provide his insights on the evolution of Australia's regional security environment. He served as Australia's long term Foreign Minister during a period when much of the then existing regional security architecture was revamped, including the creation of APEC and the ASEAN Regional Forum. In his post political career he has continued to have close engagement with decision makers in the region, including as the President and CEO of the International Crisis Group (ICG) from 2000-2009. This makes Gareth Evans uniquely well placed to understand how the dynamics of the region have developed and its potential future trajectories. His close working relationships with leaders from Australia's immediate neighbours in Southeast Asia have also provided him with an appreciation of the views from these key countries, which are often not heard as much as they should in Australia and in major capitals. He will share his thinking on how best Australia should respond to the new and significant challenges in the region.
