MEMO in Conversation with Hugh Lovatt

In December 2022, the United Nations' general assembly passed a resolution asking the International Court of Justice for an advisory opinion on the legality of Israel's occupation of Palestinian land.  MEMO speaks to Hugh Lovatt about whether this is a major milestone and what we can expect from this.
