International Court Of Justice To Issue Legal Opinion Related To Israel's Population In Palestine

JAKARTA - The International Court (ICJ), Friday, July 12, said it would issue its advisory opinion regarding legal consequences for Israel's actions in the Palestinian occupation area on July 19.

"The International Court will deliver Advisory Opinion Advisory Advisory in connection with the Legal Consequences arising from Israel's Policy and Practices in the Palestinian Population Area, including East Jerusalem," the court said in a statement, quoted by Antara, as reported by Anadolu, Saturday, July 13.

A public hearing will be held at 15:00 at the Peace Palace in The Hague, where the Court is positioned, where Judge Nawaf Salam, the President of the Court, will read out the advisor's opinion.

On December 30, 2022, the UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution asking the ICJ to provide advisory opinion on the legal consequences arising from the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories since 1967.

In addition, advisors will also provide opinions on how Israel's policies and practices affect the status of occupation law, and what legal consequences arise for all countries and the United Nations of that status.

The Advisory Opinion (AO) is an ICJ mechanism to provide legal advice proposed by the United Nations organs. On December 30, 2023, the UN General Assembly set a Resolution A/RES/77/247 asking for ICJ legal advice regarding the protracted occupation of Israel in the Palestinian territories.
