The Wall in the West Bank: State of Implementation of the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion

The purpose of this written brief is to demonstrate the non-implementation of the Inetrnational Court of Justice's Advisory Opinion of 9 July 2004, more than two years after it was rendered. The brief will recall the Court’s authoritative interpretation of international law and its rejection by Israeli authorities, demonstrate the continuing relevance of illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank for the question of the Wall, show the connection between the Wall and the annexation of Palestinian land, including the “invisible Wall” along the Jordan Valley, and recall the obligations of the international community with regard to the Wall.
