- Leading human rights advocate and legal expert, UN Commissioner Chris Sidoti
- Professor Emily Crawford, an internationally recognised expert in international law at Sydney Law School, specialising in international humanitarian and criminal law
Chris Sidoti was part of the UN international commission of inquiry on the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel which stated that the Israeli government and military were committing genocide in Gaza.
Emily Crawford is an internationally recognised expert in international law at Sydney Law School, specialising in international humanitarian and criminal law. She will help to explain Francesca Albanese’s report on Economy of Genocide report and will also address the requirement of countries to address climate change after the International Court of Justice’s ruling on climate that says states are bound under international law to tackle the human-made climate crisis.
