Presiding Judge Nawaf Salam reads the ruling in the International Court of Justice, or World Court, in The Hague, Netherlands, on July 19.The United Nations’ highest court said that Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories are illegal under international law, in an advisory opinion issued on Friday.
The findings by judges at the International Court of Justice , known as the World Court, are not binding but carry weight under international law.and East Jerusalem, and the regime associated with them, have been established and are being maintained in violation of international law,” President Nawaf Salam said, reading the findings of a 15-judge panel.
The case stems from a 2022 request from the U.N. General Assembly, predating the current Israel-Hamas conflict. The U.N. Assembly asked the court to appraise the legal consequences of Israel’s “prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation” of Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, and associated Israeli government policies.
