On Wednesday, July 10, the Israeli lawyer Shaked Haran visited the University of Innsbruck. As part of a lecture organized by the Austria Israel Academic Network Innsbruck AIANI, she reported on the fate of the Israeli hostages and, in particular, her brother-in-law Tal Shoham, who has been held in the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023.
The importance of international law
Shaked Haran chose the title "When the law fails: perspectives of an Israeli lawyer and hostage relative" for her presentation. In impressive words, she described the reality of her family after October 7 and described the far-reaching effects of the terrorist act. At the same time, she emphasized the crucial importance of international law and appealed for international solidarity.
Appeal to Austria and the international community
The lecture demonstrated how a region is plunged into a constant state of conflict in the absence of a supranational authority. At the same time, it highlighted the fundamental importance of law and order for the survival and prosperity of a society. This made Shaked Haran's final appeal to Austria and the entire international community to uphold international law and ensure peace and security for all people in the region all the more urgent.
