The International Court Of Justice

Rabbi Cosgrove and Park Avenue Synagogue past president Menachem Rosensaft discuss the proceedings brought by South Africa against Israel before the International Court of Justice and antisemitism in the courts.

Menachem Rosensaft was born in 1948 in the Displaced Persons camp of Bergen-Belsen in Germany, the son of survivors of the Nazi death and concentration camps of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. Rosensaft is Adjunct Professor of law at Cornell Law School and General Counsel Emeritus of the World Jewish Congress. He has taught about the law of genocide at Cornell Law School since 2008 and at Columbia Law School since 2011. Beginning this month, he will teach separate courses on antisemitism in the courts and in jurisprudence to Cornell law students and to undergraduates. Most recently, he has been featured in numerous major international publications as an outspoken critic of the proceeding brought by South Africa against Israel before the International Court of Justice.
