Where Is My Vote-NY, The NYU Kevorkian Center, The Nation, and Campaign for Peace and Democracy invite you to attend a forum: SANCTIONING IRAN?
As the Obama administration debates imposing new "targeted sanctions" on Iran, many question the effectiveness of sanctions to pressure regimes, while raising ethical and humanitarian concerns about the impact of sanctions on social movements as well as everyday people. In this program, two distinguished speakers will explore diverse views on the issue, using lessons learned from Iraq, Cuba, and South Africa and the current state of Iran today. We hope for the audience to come to their own understanding of the debate and to make an informed opinion as to the effect of targeted sanctions on Iran.
The program will feature:
Joy Gordon
Professor of Philosophy at Fairfield University, PhD Yale University, JD Boston University School of Law. Professor Gordon has published extensively on issues of international relations and international law, particularly in the area of economic sanctions. Dr. Gordon's most recent work Invisible War: The United States and Iraq Sanctions was published by the Harvard University Press.
Trita Parsi
Founder and president of the National Iranian American Council and an expert on US-Iranian relations, Iranian politics, and the balance of power in the Middle East.
