On 13 November, the Mitchell Institute and The Human Rights Centre hosted a Lecture from Dr Husam Zomlot, the Head of the Palestinian Mission to the United Kingdom.

Dr Zomlot spoke of ways out of the current crisis.  He addressed the causes of the violence, the role and responsibility of the international community in drawing it to a close, and the lessons which can be drawn from the Northern Irish peace process.

The event was chaired by Dr Conall Mallory, Institute Fellow: Rights and Social Justice and Interim Director of the Human Rights Centre, School of Law, QUB.

The event was attended by a broad cross-section of Mitchell Institute Fellows, students and the Northern Irish human rights community.
