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) emerg
 ed from the global antiwar movement that had mobil
 ized against the invasion and subsequent occupatio
 n of Iraq. It sought to document and provide groun
 ds for adjudicating war crimes committed by the Un
 ited States\, the United Kingdom\, and their allie
 d forces during the Iraq war.\n\nFor the Love of H
 umanity builds on two years of transnational field
 work within the decentralized network of antiwar a
 ctivists who constituted the WTI in some twenty ci
 ties around the world. Ayça Çubukçu illuminates th
 e tribunal up close\, both as an ethnographer and 
 a sympathetic participant. In the process\, she si
 tuates debates among WTI activists - a group encom
 passing scholars\, lawyers\, students\, translator
 s\, writers\, teachers\, and more - alongside key 
 jurists\, theorists\, and critics of global democr
 acy.\n\nThrough critical analysis of the global de
 bate surrounding one of the early twenty-first cen
 tury's most significant world events\, Ayça addres
 ses the challenges of forging global solidarity ag
 ainst imperialism and makes a case for reevaluatin
 g the relationships between law and violence\, emp
 ire and human rights\, and cosmopolitan authority 
 and political autonomy.\n\n*All welcome to attend*
