Behind the Headlines | Afghanistan: reflections, interventions, responsibilities

Monday, 27 September 2021 In the wake of the US and British
withdrawal from Afghanistan and the crisis that has ensued, how
should the world reflect on the history of western intervention in
this region, and how should we reassess the concept and protocols
of international responsibility? What is the best way forward for
those trying to respond to the humanitarian disaster, and to the
implications, in particular, for women under the resurgent Taliban
regime? In this Behind the Headlines discussion, our panel of
experts will address the situation in Afghanistan in the wider
contexts of diplomacy, humanitarianism, ethics and culture, in
order to bring to light some of the lessons that should be learned
from the catastrophic events of recent weeks. Speakers: Nelofer
Pazira-Fisk, Irish-based Afghan-Canadian journalist and film-maker.
Roja Fazaeli, Associate Prof in Islamic Civilisations, TCD Soraya
