Rule 144
João Oliveira (The Left)
On 19 July 2024, the International Court of Justice replied to questions from the UN General Assembly arising from Resolution A/RES/77/247 of 30 December 2022.
In its reply, that court confirmed the illegality of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories and concluded that Israel has an obligation to: end its illegal presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory; immediately cease all new settlement activities and evacuate all settlers from the Occupied Palestinian Territory; and make good the damage caused to any natural or legal persons concerned in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
It further concluded that all States are under an obligation not to recognise as legal the situation arising from Israel’s illegal presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and not to provide aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
In light of this decision:
- 1.What steps will the Council take to implement the decisions of the International Court of Justice?
- 2.Will it order the immediate suspension of the supply of military or related material to Israel?
- 3.What steps will it take to ensure that the sovereign rights of the Palestinian people over their resources are respected?
