what was that was the service display, and you're saying you'll have your reports for that. i should just trust the community off to the side, the cool values to produce outstanding gentleness and elders, the integrity in the pursuit of the, [000:00:00;00] the hello, until mccrae, this is l. just hear a lot from dow welcome to l. special coverage of the united nations highest court, which is set to begin a series of herrings into israel's illegal occupation of palestine over the next 5 days. they will be looking at the legal implications all as well as continuing breach of palestinians, right?

to self determination. this is the scene at the international court of justice right now we're proceedings set to get on the way very, very shortly. they will consider what impact as well as policies and actions have on the situation in the occupied areas and what this means for the united nations and all its members states. okay, we're going to go to ben and smith who is live at the hague, outside the international court of justice and up. and it can just give us a little bit of context 1st of all and explain to us how significant these hearings are. storm is hiring unprecedented in scale and scope and scale because there are $52.00 states and 3 international organizations giving or opinions and scale because he's looking a scope and scale because he's looking at more than 50 is of israel is occupations of palestinian territories. there are 2 questions the court is looking at and firstly,

it's going to ask one of the legal consequences of the ongoing violation of israel, the rights of palestinians to self determination from prolonged occupation sacraments and an exception of the power as to the entire truth. and then the 2nd question of bought this house to those policies affect the legal status of the occupation. and one of the legal consequences that arise will old states, not just israel, i'm the un from this status. now it's different this case from the case that south africa is bringing on genocide. this case goes back to 2022. when the un general assembly asked the will call the international court of justice for this advisory known binding opinion on the occupation the hands of the last 6 days. each country gets about half an hour each of the palestinian stock post. they get the whole like how much longer morning session, about 3 hours to make that case that will stop shortly after that the judge of the quote will go away and deliberate and perhaps we'll have

a ruling from them house by the end of the year. yes, we can see up in it as we, as he was speaking, the judges are now making their way into that hearing chime. but just very briefly, before they do get onto why can you just explain how i'm present into that is the number of countries that are taking part in this as well. yeah, i mean when the u. n. g, a, you voted on this initially 26 countries voted against this hearing and not included the united states, but said it would. uh, it would be counter productive to a possible to state solution. well, that was then cool things. now it's israel that has been the most opposed to state to state. so the solution in recent weeks, despite continue to us pressure, these riley's benjamin netanyahu has come out and said he will not be back when his a palestinian state. okay, thanks printed to it looks like the proceedings are getting underway. let's listen and now the cool city semester. a soda, utah,

the person who put on thought is expose the. ready a upset about fuel or associated, but at the moment that the positive, that the way that somebody is getting that on the showing that as soon as you need . yeah. so me the other ones. i'm a and i'm, and i'm with the heads up because those are the, on the 40 and the yeah, it's a $1.30 to $1.00, but as you know, keeping lee and the dead. okay . what we are expecting over the next few hours, the next 3 hours will so as been, smith was pointing out the, the palestinians will punch the a case forward. and just to remind of what's for you in general assembly has asked the international court of justice to give its advisory opinion on they basically wants to know 2 things. what are the legal consequences of israel's continued for each of palestinians? right to self determination, including his prolonged occupation settlements and annexation of territories since

1967. and then secondly, how to as well as policies and actions impacts the legal situation of the occupied areas. and also what legal effects do these have for all countries as well as the united nations. so we are expecting to hear at the beginning of that in the next few minutes. a okay, well just to give you an idea of what it took to get to this point. uh, the you in general assembly posted in 2020 to 87 countries voted in 5 and 53 nations. which included funds and benevolence of stones at $26.00 countries, the reverse it against this, among them was as ro, it's l i the united states, the united kingdom, as well as germany the legal

consequences that arise foot old states. and the, you know, i should visions from this status. thank you, says the president. by an order they 23, february 2023. the court decided that the united nations, that his member states, as well as the of service state of palestine, were considered likely to be able to furnish information on the questions submitted to the court for an advisory opinion on fixed. pretty 5 july 2023. as the time limit within which risen statements, some of the questions could be presented to the course. it's a 25 october 20. 23 is the time limit within which states and organizations have been presented. written statements, codes submit, written comments on the other written statements where they put it on the they did upset of us doing. it could be sure to go to the including own request submitted, subsequently by the week of our states, the organization of his stomach corporation in the african union. and that's what

the court decided that these 3 international organizations were likely to be able to furnish information on the questions submitted to the course of the amount. and that consequent day they could do so within the time limits fixed by the court. don't want to do the decrease in june 2023 more. the 60 general of the united nations communicated to the court as does j. those documents likely to throw a large part of the questions for me that just by the general assembly to the biggest joke for them really, by the way it was placed on the course website whiskey. i think in addition to the does a new documents more then several translations will communicate to the court by the you and secretary is in october 20 to $23.00. so i looked up to $0.70. let's just see it all over the fees basements by the key. let me be a mode. kind of the dish. jordan check. let's use time

11 in norway is julio, the quite i'm states sitting out of the public by the star and the organizational stomach cooperation by the egypt. no gun, no jump bonds, and so with the idea got to switzerland. so being that option for the nation, it sadly, yeah, man, that option there might be, do not do that, will be minutes on the phone if you're new and you're not just on south africa, the united kingdom hungry. so but as in france with united states of america, china, the going to be all island leaves. what is the cuba, what issues, murder. ready but if you check to buy this job, i'm the off in the nice uh what they might uh now would you both the toggle fiji sydney god, and some of you doable fiji. then edit increments where to find in the registry and

all that over the c. by when jordan, the organizational technical position, joe thought to be the use of the stomach bug let dash by this time the united states of america is lanesha. gd into the deep vinyl space in egypt. i g. a. did you what the, my, the, let me be a and back. you started. what the, my law, by letter is dated. october 18, 2023. that i just saw it informed. united nations as members space and the staples by this time, as well as the leave of ida space organizational stomach corporation and the african union state. the hearings on the request for an adviser opinion with open on the 9th and february 2024 with open on for purposes of the card in order to receives the following participants the card in to 1000 speaking or do it with dignity floor springs. i said by this time of the south africa,

i judy on by this thought. so the idea of the kingdom of the netherlands bung, gladish bedroom varies, but if you, but i said she columbia, but cuba, she just do not the damage. it's not the states of america, the russian federation, france becoming via the i know hungry china this that make it public off to get on . get off the island in japan, jordan with lebanon. lydia looks on board, malaysia. what issues? and that may be a note we, i'm on a cust on indonesia got out of the united kingdom to virginia for don switzerland this evening i'll be probably easier to key some of the vehicles out of space, the organization of stomach cooperation, the african union in spain, fiji,

it'd be my div and the co models this morning. the quote would hear the shape of body style, which has to be an ok to democracy, most speaking time of 3 hours, which or the other participants in the order with you being over the next days would speak for the maximum of 30 minutes each. before the invite, think by this time. so i, that's the quote, i would add that in echo, and as we advocated one or 6 of it. so the court has decided that it's in statements and fits and comments submitted, and the current advisor proceedings to be asked to be made accessible to the public officer to the opening of the present shootings. the visits and submissions when he posted on the course website at the end of each day. for those participating for the hearings on that days. the techs of the older statements would also be placed on the course website, and i will give the flow to his excellent see mister automatic,

he's minnesota offered enough as an expenses of the samples by this time the next. and so you have the floor mister president, members of the court. it is an honor the great responsibility to appear before you on behalf of the people on state to follow stein and these historic proceedings. i stand before you. as 2300000 police team hasn't got up. half of them children are deceased and bombed, killed and maimed starved and displaced as more than 3 point. 5000000 for the seniors in the us back, including is yours. on them are subjected to clothing i zation of their territory and the racist,

the violence that enables it. as 1700000 policy meals in his room of 3 2nd class citizens and will come to intrude and assist the blonde at 7000000. but this time, but if you choose, continue to be denied the right to return to that land and homes. i stand before you as the entire policy of people continue to be denied their funds. i mean some rights, their very existence and they get to for over a century the in telling me about right for the young people to some of the nation has been denied and violated to by this time was brought to land without to people . it was not as is, ideally, those have described it the way spent. there was life on this down. there was the political life. a culture of life is social life. it really

just like it, todd schools and universities, seen them. i was on cultural holes. it had villages and villages, families and communities whose life was this up to the, by the impact of a promise made thousands of miles away over a 100 years ago. but each of a sacred trust that's really gated the indigenous people of the land. but the stock, those so fun jewish communities, according to them only civil and religious rights denying their existence as the people and their rights as a nation. and paving the way for them to humanize ation, must exposure and from their homeland dictates. later,

the united nations enshrines and it gets charter that i some of old people's for self determination and pledge students the world of the great greatest breaches of this rights. namely, colonialism apart type. yet, for the kids to kind of see how people have been denied this right. and have interviewed both colonialism apartheid that out of those who are outraged by the use of these words, they should instead be authorized by the reality. we are living to this reality is known by everybody's state in so far, by millions, generation after generation. it is the day of the expulsion of up in a sea of people from their own land. not just the buildings on 1948, not above which led to the explosion of up to 900000 palestinians. not just the

expansion of more than 400000 palestinians in 1967, but continually including now as i address you at this very moment, it is the ins this glen minutes may mean cooling off by the students. it's means you can spent the entire oddity of your life as of a few g, denied your dignity, and you're the right to return home. it means your life and try maybe your community and home on the constant threat. you loved ones going to be taken away. i'm thrown in is what i did. jail. held the indifferent it please. you alone can be stolen, colonized on time, except without hesitation. freedom is nowhere to be found. there is no

safe haven. it means discrimination everywhere. and no justice, anywhere. it is gonna be ality. what is royal con, destroy you guys are getting tens of thousands of palestinians, almost the top of them children leaving 1000000 tons of installed to rise. and they're all much all used for life. the old friend of the mother, the father of both amputated and disabled, leaving now the 2000000 people displaced on this, but it was nowhere to shelter from the onslaught. the genocide under william garza is that is all of the gates of impunity and in action ending as well as impunity. is it more political and legal imperative? successive is there any governments have given the stand up people only 3 options,

displacement, subjugation, or death. these are the choices estimate convincing all part of tides or gym site. but all the people out here to state. they have a right to live in freedom and dignity and that on such throat land, they will not forsake their rights. i thus implode, you as you hear the legal arguments not to forget the young people, not to forget that all the people are struggling every day for their survival as individuals, families, communities, as a nation. that's less than 2 months i bought this board or the provision on the mattress and a landmark case brought by the republic of south africa against is road. i'm the genocide convention,

unload the that is right. it continues to defy with impunity for the kids as well. as will go by the point of student activity, committing violations that often hadn't, for its presence in our land on colonial objectives. this your profession is unexperienced. and so pretty much just in nature, it, it is a deliberate syndic color, that version of the international. lo, it is thus illegal, the only so the ocean consistent with international this for this illegal occupation to come to an immediate and conditional on total isn't. as you have to 20 years ago, the policy have people have that sensitive information. it is um, at a homeless, right? it is non negotiable, non 0 double. no to buying power,

including is room can be granted to get to fit your veto over the rights of the people that are price. allow me now to show you 5 months. the 1st one is historic. by this time, this is the territory over which this young people should have been able to exercise their right to sensitive combination. instead, the general assembly recommended the partition of body style ignoring the will of our people, as shown in the 2nd map. with the knot above that ensued over 2 thirds of our people. what systematically, unfortunately, expelled by his right on 3 fourths of police time became is right, shown in the 3rd month. this was the start of the by the disposition, the displacement times replacement of all people. the denial of rights and

discrimination. but continues to this very day. the 1967 is right and then they'll go by the remainder of body style on from the 1st day of it . so commission started pulling lising gun not mixing the land with the aim of making it. so could patients ever have some of it left us with a collection of disconnected bunch of stones preventing the independence of our state as shown in my port is what i had wanted the the jewel gonna feel funny is time, but blocked it's, they won't get a fee so it's kept pushing the people out out of their homes, out of that land. here is a 5th month. it was late, but as rose probably minnesota. so there's really not somebody last september. he called this the new me the least. this is no, there is no,

but his time at all on this map on this right then is the of all the land for them . there's always been delivered. so that means it's already in the and see. this shows you what the prolonged, continuous is ready for patient of body style is intended to accomplish. the complete disappeared and so find his time. on the destruction of the sting of people, there can be no justification for leasing and injustices and dignities. allowing them to continue is unacceptable. an excuse of the acquisition of 32 by fours persecution, racial discrimination about 5, i guess the people denial of service administration or get a violation. so the most from them in the loans of international that is illegal. i'm more of an application to bring them to a prompt, and mr. president,

members of the court or the staples, body style and films, it's on wherever implements months. so the rule of international law, which must finally prevail. the force of the law must prevail over the under all for the use of force. we said years ago that we made the choice justice, not vengeance, but justice delayed is justice the night and the see how people have been denied justice for far too long. we believe in the principles drafted over decades to save successive united ations from the score for oppression. this time to put them in the standards that have kept our people captive. for far too long, international law must be applied to all the states. without exception,

no states can be of sold of it's so big shows under the lo, know people can be deprived of its protection. by this time, did you please 6, the fulfillment overrides a follow up people including the independence of the state. so by this time, when the police 1967 folders with these jurors that i'm a bit skeptical in accordance with the international and united nations resolutions, this is the historical compromise. we agree to it just exhausting solution with to do more practice states. by this time and is a leading side by side in peace and security, we see peace, which can only be routed in justice when we committed to the peace process. see the tickets ago. we did it in the believe an expectation that the

international low would finally be upheld so much that this process would witness its continued breach. we did so expecting that i'd so followed people with finally before felt much further united by determining zillow and the shows of all the states and organizations. this boards kind of had a chart to pass for peace. i'm coach injustice and respecting international law. it has taken up on to see how people dictates all the info. so going to stand before you today. we have to you for the port stop, hold our rights to send to get the nation breakdown and all of the human rights, including by declaring that there is already a probation is illegal on must in immediately, totally unconditional. good. but said president, members of the court,

i wouldn't be followed today by 6 because on behalf of the state, so by this time 1st would be professor and today is the amount of money who will address the student's fiction. fine sir, the general assembly as questions and that sense of compelling reasons that might lead support to the clock, but declined to do so. next would be mr. paul chrysler, who was the most rate the illegality, as well as prolonged occupation? because it's an extension of policy, not territory it including through widespread valona, zation is intended to be permanent in violation of the addition of the acquisition of 33 by force. the next speaker would be on by so the next who will address the system of the persecution racial discrimination on my part 5. that is, what i am is imposing, overlapping as young people, as the means of maintaining it,

gets control over to the land by the subjugation of the indigenous understand people. she will be followed by professors for the sense who well, the most states, how is disposition displacement under the placement of the present? people understood. i mean, they shouldn't, i guess them has led to the wholesale denial of the, in the about right. so the, instead of the nation, the court will then be addressed by professor allan blake, who will identify the legal consequences that follow from as well as grave. and then boeing violations of put him to the launch. these legal consequences necessarily include the obligation to bring to bring this on law for probation to an end and to dismantle the colonial. and so pretty much just architecture, legal and physical. that is why it has special updates over dictates the final,

the speaker or the state of palestine would be administered. we have most of our 30 minutes that are present, that they have to let you know, take nations and you said months or will focus on the problem. and that's the responsibility of the united nations and the obligations of all the states to bring this injustice to a swift and so as to uphold the laws fulfilling the see all the rights and the chief age of these for all. so many states will also stand before this, this court informed by their own history of probation, colonialism, apartheid. they wouldn't stand here on principle to defend the international law based folder, and millions around the world. would it be watching, hoping that their face in the international system can be restored and that dependency of people will not be abandons or discarded as expendable. but this time remains the special,

so i'll put it over that could have the ability of this international bill based or the it test humanity cannot afford to fail. mr. president, members of the court said so funny, stein expresses, it's what is the confidence that you would discharge sacred duties entrusted to you with the wisdom furnace on justice that the world expects a needs of you. i thank you for the pressing you and then i would request mister president, the porch to pull on professor zimmerman. thank you. i think is excellent. seems to mind the key for this opening statement. i now give it a floor to professor under zimmerman. you have the floor professor that seems sure to because it all is the president, members of the court that we start by expressing my order to appear once again

before the court. this is even more true this time since the current proceedings address issues that have been of utmost relevance for the international community for decades. and indeed, for the united nations. since its very inception. these issues lie at the very heart of the organizations ability to achieve international peace and security. now, more than ever, i would present the colors times arguments and true as diction and the disability as i can and will be succinct as there is no doubt that the quote is true. is dixon to give the requested opinion. and that the compelling reasons for the court to decline to issue the request of the opinion rather to the contrary, compelling positive reasons exist for the quote to address the legal questions refer to it. as the quotes,

legal determinations will assist all parties as to the legal power meters that must be adhered to the quotes. determinations are both urgent and relevant.
