Policy statement
In light of the situation in the region, we ask all participants to familiarize themselves with the Conference’s policies regarding participation from affiliates of Israeli institutions complicit in grave crimes against Palestinians. By registering, all participants confirm that they have read and understand the conference's policy on participation: Considering Israel's ongoing illegal military occupation of Palestinian lands and apartheid rule, as well as its aggression towards Lebanon and Syria, and "plausible" genocide in Gaza as ruled by the ICJ, the conference aligns its practices regarding attendance from Israeli institutions with the guidelines of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic Boycott and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and relevant instructions from the Norwegian government. This entails that individual scholars from complicit Israeli institutions can attend the conference, but that there will be no official representation (such as dean, rector, or president) from said institutions. Scholars with a stated affiliation to institution fully or partially built on Palestinian land occupied by Israel since 1967 will not be invited to attend the conference, as the ICJ has also ruled that Israel’s “continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is unlawful.”
