The administrative judge suspends the ban taken on November 18 by the director, Luis Vassy, ​​and orders the Paris Institute of Political Studies to schedule a new date for this conference, on condition that the collective of student organizers Students for Justice in Palestine, presents the necessary guarantees for its proper functioning, in particular with regard to the security system and moderation of debates.
