Responding to a question by The Indian Express about how the course prepares peace scholars to deal with modern challenges, like International Criminal Court judges facing sanctions over the arrest warrant issued for Israeli PM Netanyahu or cases filed against people in India for donning the Palestinian flag, Prof Anita Patankar of Symbiosis said that the course would help bring incremental change amongst policy makers.
