On Feb 6 2007, the Alternative Information Center (AIC) and the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), jointly hosted a lecture by Judge Juan Guzman at the Ambassador Hotel in East Jerusalem. Judge Guzman is a retired Chilean judge who became internationally famous for being the first judge to prosecute former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet on human rights charges, after Pinochets return to Chile following more than a year of house arrest in London, England. He spoke together with Israeli human rights lawyer, Lea Tsemel on International Legal Solutions for War Crimes and Human Rights Violations: The Experience in Latin America and its Relation to the Situation in Palestine.
