BBC North America correspondent Nomia Iqbal speaks to Noura
Erakat, Palestinian-American human rights attorney and professor
at Rutgers University. As well as being a legal scholar she is
also an outspoken advocate for justice in Palestine, she went on
to become one of the first Palestinian women to address the
United Nations Security in October this year where she spoke on
the situation of women and girls in Gaza

Noura Erakat reflects on the global response to the war in Gaza
and what international law can and cannot do in times of crisis.
We explore what accountability might look like and why, for many
Palestinians, the law has so often failed them.

She talks about growing up as part of the Palestinian diaspora in
the United States and how this has shaped her life. The Interview
