DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism welcomes Profes
 sor Robert Wintemute\, King's College\, London.\n\nAbstract\n\nA growing n
 umber of people around the world (especially black South Africans) view th
 e situation in Israel-Palestine as one of apartheid (racial discrimination
  in access to citizenship and the right to vote).\n\nIs this true\, or is 
 the situation one of temporary occupation\, necessary for the security of 
 Jewish-Israelis? If it is true\, did the apartheid begin in 2002\, 1987\, 
 1967 or 1948?  If it is true\, are calls to boycott Israel\, until it ends
  its apartheid\, a justifiable response and a form of protected political 
 expression\, applying the reasoning of the US Supreme Court in National As
 sociation for the Advancement of Colored People v. Claiborne Hardware Co. 
 ('a nonviolent\, politically motivated boycott ... is constitutionally pro
 tected')? Or are they incitement to racial discrimination or hatred\, as F
 rance's Cour de cassation found in 2015 (rejecting the conclusion of the t
 rial court)\, and as the French government contends in the pending case of
  Baldassi and Others v. France (European Court of Human Rights)? [Read cas
