Thematic organisation of the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion of 19 July 2024
Prepared by: Alex Murphy, N.Chowdhury, Aya Wazaz, Conall Mathur-Dix, and Anisha Patel
This database provides an overview of the major themes covered in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion of 19 July 2024 on the Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. In addition to the Advisory Opinion, the compendium includes declarations, joint declarations, separate opinions, and the dissenting opinion by judges of the ICJ, sorted by thematic area, paragraph number, and relevant text. The document serves to elucidate the range of judicial opinions on the key legal questions raised in this Advisory Opinion, inter alia, annexation, settlements, self determination, apartheid and on the substantive duties and consequences for Israel, the UN, and Third States that are entailed by the Court’s landmark declaration that Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territory is unlawful.
The aim of this document is to serve as a point of reference for any and all seeking to build on the historic Advisory Opinion of the Court (critical as it is in establishing not merely particularities of conduct, but the very occupation itself as unlawful) by developing the key thematic areas outlined therein, whether in scholarly, litigatory or other contexts.
When downloaded as a Dataset, the document may be filtered by theme, or by origin of text (the Advisory Opinion itself, Separate and Joint Opinions, etc). A dropdown menu of alternative views may be accessed via “Data” and “Change View”. Additionally, direct links to these filtered views are provided below
The document is designed to be a living resource, regularly updated to reflect further categorisation of the text in the Advisory Opinion. While every effort has been made to compile a comprehensive list of thematic areas and texts, users are encouraged to refer to the official website of the International Court of Justice for a complete record.
Law for Palestine invites all interested parties to explore the legal compendium and utilise it as a valuable resource in the ongoing discourse surrounding international law and Palestine.
