[Seminar Report］
This seminar was successful, with approximately 100 participants including students taking “International Law Ⅰ” course for undergraduate students. Rotary Peace Fellows and other ICU students had invaluable opportunity to learn the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Israel-Gaza directly from the Head of Delegation in Japan, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Rotary Peace Fellows also spend a nice time of dialogue with the guest lecturer over casual lunch after the seminar.
