The UN International Court of Justice holds public hearings on the consequences of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories.
The International Court of Justice hears arguments over Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories.
It will examine the legal consequences of Israel’s continued violation of the Palestinians’ right to self-determination as well as the impact of Israeli policy not only on the occupied areas but also on other countries and on the United Nations.
Advisory opinions from the UN’s highest court are not binding, but they have significant moral and legal authority.
When a decision is announced, will it have global implications?
