DESCRIPTION:Ayça Çubukçu will be launching her book\, "For the Love of 
 Humanity: The World Tribunal on Iraq". \n\nIn 2003\, the World Tribunal on
  Iraq (WTI) emerged from the global antiwar movement that had mobilized ag
 ainst the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq. It sought to documen
 t and provide grounds for adjudicating war crimes committed by the United 
 States\, the United Kingdom\, and their allied forces during the Iraq war.
 \n\nFor the Love of Humanity builds on two years of transnational fieldwor
 k within the decentralized network of antiwar activists who constituted th
 e WTI in some twenty cities around the world. Ayça Çubukçu illuminates 
 the tribunal up close\, both as an ethnographer and a sympathetic particip
 ant. In the process\, she situates debates among WTI activists - a group e
 ncompassing scholars\, lawyers\, students\, translators\, writers\, teache
 rs\, and more - alongside key jurists\, theorists\, and critics of global 
 democracy.\n\nThrough critical analysis of the global debate surrounding o
 ne of the early twenty-first century's most significant world events\, Ay
 ça addresses the challenges of forging global solidarity against imperial
 ism and makes a case for reevaluating the relationships between law and vi
 olence\, empire and human rights\, and cosmopolitan authority and politica
 l autonomy.\n\n*All welcome to attend*: no particular affiliation to any o
 rganisation or institution required.\n\nPlease contact the organiser for m
 ore information including details on access.\n\nHosted by "Critical Theory
