Palestine Talks - Paul Heywood-Smith

29 July 2020

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the validation of BDS


Palestine Talk's topic for July 2020 was:

AFOPA has supported BDS now for many years. In recent years anti-BDS state repression leading to the criminalization of BDS has occurred in Europe, particularly in France and Germany. Now the ECHR has set aside one such conviction by France's highest criminal court. What are the ramifications?

Paul Heywood-Smith is AFOPA’s patron and distinguished previous Chair of the Association
