Failure of Middle East conference in Geneva reflects ‘too divided’ international society
This content was published on
Switzerland has axed a conference on the application of the Geneva Conventions to the occupied Palestinian territories, following protests from several countries.
The occupation of the corridor where the rector’s office is located began on Wednesday, resulting in a ban on access to the building. “The academic activities planned in this building have been relocated to other sites”, UNIGE spokesperson Marco Cattaneo said on Thursday.
He added that “the CEP’s demands are audible and legitimate, but they must take place within a democratic process that is under way”.
No further meetings between CEP members and the university are planned in the near future. Rector Audrey Leuba met with the students last week, noted Cattaneo.
For its part, the CEP condemns the attitude of the Rector’s office, “which has decided to hide behind a stony silence”.
