Antwoord aan: legaltalk-l@mlm.eur.nl
Dear Legaltalk colleagues,
In case you missed it (though it’s hard to imagine how anyone could!), the ICJ issued powerful and far-reaching Advisory Opinion this afternoon, including (paraphrasing):
- Israel systematically discriminates against Palestinians;
- Israel’s policies and practices amount to annexation of large parts of the Occupied Palestinian Territory;
- Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territories (including the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza) is unlawful;
- the State of Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is unlawful;
- State of Israel is under an obligation to bring to an end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible;
- State of Israel is under an obligation to cease immediately all new settlement activities, and to evacuate all settlers from the Occupied Palestinian Territory;
- State of Israel has the obligation to make reparation for the damage caused to all the natural or legal persons concerned in the Occupied Palestinian Territory;
- all States are under an obligation not to recognize as legal the situation arising from the unlawful presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by the continued presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory;
international organizations, including the United Nations, are under an obligation not to recognize as legal the situation arising from the unlawful presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory;
- the United Nations, and especially the General Assembly, which requested this opinion, and the Security Council, should consider the precise modalities and further action required to bring to an end as rapidly as possible the unlawful presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
