evidence: The 2024 ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Occupied Palestinian Territory – An Introduction The recent Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the "Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem" (AdvOp) offers a comprehensive analysis of the (un)lawfulness of Israeli policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). It thereby goes well beyond the 2004 Palestine Wall Advisory Opinion which limited itself to an assessment of the legality of the Wall without however providing a full-fledged legal analysis of the Israeli occupation. Now the Court finds that the series of individual violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Human Rights Law (IHRL) – inter alia, Israel’s settlement policy, annexation/acquisition of territory by force, adoption of discriminatory legislation and measures, and denial of Palestinian self-determination (AdvOp, para. 103 ff.) – have cumulatively turned the arguably ab initio lawful occupation into an unlawful one (para. 244 ff.). This finding of unlawfulness results in Israel’s obligation to withdraw from the OPT "as rapidly as possible" (para. 261, 267). What is more, the occupation’s unlawfulness renders it an international wrong under the Law of State Responsibility.
