DESCRIPTION:As civil war continues to rage in Syria\, civilian populations 
 have been left without adequate protection and no safe escape from the vio
 lence. The brutality of this civil war has once again placed the UN system
  in crisis as the limits of international protection are brought into focu
 s. While Russia\, France\, and the U.S. seem to be on a collision course i
 n a proxy war being fought in Syria based on differing alliances and geopo
 litical strategies\, recent attempts to restrain the veto power of the per
 manent 5 members of the UN Security Council in the face of mass atrocities
  has added a new level of complexity. Against this backdrop of worsening i
 nternational relations and a UN deadlock\, Syrian civilians continue to su
 ffer and die in conditions of prolonged precarity.\n\nSome of the question
 s that will be addressed are: How should we interpret the crises? What are
  the dominant narratives that frame the conflict and how are they preventi
 ng cooperation and protection of civilians? What legal mechanisms are stil
 l available for protection? What spaces exist or can be opened for solidar
 ity and international action to contribute to the protection of vulnerable
  populations?\n\nPanelists: Prof. Tanya Monforte\, visiting O'Brien Fellow
  in Residence\; Prof. Frédéric Mégret\, Canada Research Chair in the Law o
 f Human Rights and Legal Pluralism (9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ)\; and Prof. Stefan Winter\, a 
 scholar of the history of the Middle East and the Maghreb (UQAM)\n\n \n
