struction and expansion of settlements, transfer of israeli settlers, confiscation of land demolition of homes and displacement of palestinian submissions. and at least $28.00 general assembly resolutions, which expressly condemned israel's annexation of jerusalem. and the west. israel, you're watching audra 0 being the live coverage of the international court of justice in the hey, holding public hearings on the consequences of israel's occupation to a lot of parties to give their views and the legal consequences of israel's occupation of the palestinian and categories and before he eventually issuing a non binding legal opinion that comes off to the court and 6 was asked by the united nations general assembly resolution in december 20. try to, to give that opinion on the legal consequences of ongoing violations. bias of the rights of policy and self determination. how rights was being given,

the palestinian delegation case for the legality of israel's prolonged occupation and extension and supplement of the occupied the contest. i mean, i'm time to try it. we're going to listen which model for the hospice and not the standing. the formal characterization of the wall by israel. it would be tantamount to the fact though, annexation, and that is precisely what has happened over the past 20 years. not only within the expanded confines of the world, but all across the west bank, most of which has now been and next to factor why is in 2022. the report of the united nations international commission of free conclude israel treats the occupation as a permanent fixture that has, for all intents and purposes, an ex, parts of the west bank. the international court of justice anticipated such a scenario in its 2004 advisory opinion. this has now become

the reality. the special rep or tour on human rights in the occupied palestinian territory reached the same conclusion. the occupation by israel has been conducted in profound defiance of international law. it's 55 year old occupation burst through the restraints of the temporary this long ago. israel has progressively engaged in the jury and the fact of annexation of occupied church. mister president, israel's ongoing annexation of the west bank accelerated in 2023 with the largest ever expansion of settlements in the territory. 22 new settlements were authorized and more than 16000 new housing units were built funded. our plan by is really

sorry. it's as explained by israel's finance minister, quote, the construction boom in judea and scenario and all over our country continues. we will continue to develop the settlements and strength and the is really hold on the territory or in developing its settlements. israel has invested heavily in the infrastructure needed to supply them with water and electric power, as well as a network of roads and highways connected to connect them to one another. and to israel itself. these investments in the hundreds of millions of dollars a test to the intended, permanent character of the settlement. the roads which palestinians are forbidden to use. and a pervasive system of roadblocks and check points, prevent palestinians, but not is rarely settlers for moving from place to place in the west bank. and

they isolate palestinian communities by cutting them off from one another. israel's settlement expansion has thus both up routed palestinians from their homes to make room for new settlements and force them to live in disconnected. a non continuous enclave which the special rep or tour has called for a fragmented archipelago of $100.00. and 65 disparate patches of land. this achieves the fundamental objective of the occupation permanent acquisition of the maximum amount of palestinian territory with the minimum number of palestinians in in further into this subjective and with increasing frequency armed groups of settlers supported by israel's occupation forces and in courage by government ministers. have violently expelled

thousands of peaceful palestinian civilians from their ancestral villages and lands a you in fact, finding mission confirmed, quote. the motivation behind this violence and the intimidation against the palestinians in their properties is to drive the local populations away from their lands and allow the settlements to expand. the un high commissioner for human rights reported in march 2023 quote, settler violence further intensified reaching the highest levels ever recorded by the united nations. in november 2023, the high commissioner warned that the situation had further deteriorated with quote, a sharp increase and subtler violence and takeover of land across the west bank. since 7 october, he continued nearly 1000 palestinians from at least 15 hurting communities,

had been forced from their homes the secretary general, and his most recent report issued on 25 october 2023. expressly linked the expansion of israeli settlements to the permanent acquisition of palestinian territory to success. it is really governments have consistently advanced and implemented policies of settlement expansion and takeover of palestinian land. the policies of the current government in disregard are aligned to an unprecedented extent with the goals of these really settler movement to expand long term control over the occupied westbank, including east jerusalem. and in practice, to further integrate those areas within the territory of the state of israel.

mister president, members of the court taking account of this evidence as well as that described in the state of palestine to written submissions. i turn to the law and how it applies to this occupation. written the statement of switzerland is once again, directly on point. it highlights the distinction between the law of occupation and the legality of a particular occupation. the law of occupation and the legality of occupation are 2 different questions. the law of occupation supplies, independently of the question of the legality of the occupation occupation is a situation subject to international humanitarian law. whereas its legality is covered by the united nations charter

in relation to the legality of the occupation. under the charter, the switzerland observes, quote, the united nations has consistently reaffirm to the principle of the n. admissibility of the acquisition of territory by force and condemned is really measures aimed at modifying the demographic composition, the characters and the status of jerusalem and the occupied palestinian territory as a whole. notably the construction and extension of settlement, the transfer of israeli settlements, the confiscation of land, the demolition of homes, and the displacement of palestinian civilians in switzerland's view, quote, the measures taken by israel in the occupied palestinian territory. the 2 fundamental changes, particularly demographic changes that can have

a permanent character. in such circumstances, switzerland expressly invites the court quote, to rule on the consequences of the permanent character of the measures taken by his rail in the occupied palestinian territory as to the status of the occupation under general international law. in particular, the charter of the united nations. many states agree with this approach, france to underscores the temporary character of lawful occupation. this is a requirement, israel's occupation of palestinian territory plainly fails to meet as france stage. if the restrictions authorized by a regime of occupation were justifiable in the period following the military

operations, they are not anymore today. of these points had been reiterate by the security council and the general assembly on numerous occasions concerning israel's obligation to withdraw from the occupied territory. france calls out in particular, israel's annexation of occupied territory. quote, the status of occupying power does not confer any legal title, justifying annexation. the passage of time is not sufficient. as regards the acquisition of territory by force to render lawful a situation that is very easily unlawful. and israel's vast network of settlements and hundreds of thousands of settlers in the occupied territory. friend states, these permanent establish establishments are obviously incompatible

with a necessarily temporary character of the occupation 35 of the states and international organizations that submitted written statements addressed to legality of israel's occupation. at 35 of of, of, of the states and international organizations have address fully gallery of israel's occupation of palestinian territory. only 2 of these $35.00 to which i will come argued that the occupation is not unlawful. t x serbs reflecting the views expressed by the overwhelming majority that the occupation is unlawful as a whole and must be brought to an end or collected in chapter 2. the state of palestine is written comments. here are 3 brief but emblematic examples in

the african union. quote, invites the court to conclude that the prolonged is really occupation of the palestinian territories is in itself unlawful. the policies and practices associated with the amount to defacto and the jury annexation of the palestinian territories, which violates the prohibition on the acquisition of territory by force. brazil observes that quote, occupation is inherently temporary. this is the basic distinction between occupation and annexation presented here hits the nail right on the head like occupation annexation is intended to be permanent, and it makes the occupation itself unlawful in brazil's words, israel's policies and practices render the occupation unlawful as

a whole. and as much as it would be tantamount to the acquisition of territory by force. japan to emphasizes that the annexation of occupied territories, unlawful referring to article $24.00 of the un charter quote. as the icy j clarified in the world advisory opinion, the legality of the acquisition of territory by force is a corollary of the prohibition of use of force incorporated in the un charter, which japan calls quote, the most fundamental root of the post war regime for peace based on the rule of law among nations, the 2 outliers are fiji and the united states. of all the states that submitted written statements to the court. only fiji the attempt to defend the occupation as off are. but even feet can see.

israel has next east jerusalem to jury and that the application of an occupying power is laws to be occupied territory, which is the case in the west bank constitutes an attic station to fact. nor did israel itself deny its annexations to jerusalem and the west. it's abbreviated written statement is mainly an attack on the general assembly for its alleged bikes. it makes no attempt to defend the legality of its occupation under international law. the only state, besides fiji, to defend israel, united states. this is not surprising. whatever offences against international law, israel commits the united states, comes forward to shield it from accountability. here the united states of the

attempts to defend israel, not by arguing that the occupation is lawful, but that it is neither a lawful nor unable to reach this conclusion. the united states argues that belligerent occupation is governed exclusively by international humanitarian law and not by the un charter or general international in its own words, quote. although international humanitarian law imposes obligations on deliverance in their conduct of an occupation, it does not provide for the legal status of an occupation to be lawful, or i'm off to even assuming argue, and that this is a correct reading of international humanitarian law, which we dispute it does not lead to the conclusion that an occupation cannot be on lawful under international law. what a bad article to for,

of the un charter and general international law, including the prohibition on acquisition of territory by force for the united states. apparently, this peremptory norm does not exist when it comes to israel's annexation and settlement of the occupied palestinian territory. not only in such a lawless and un charter list world could be as really occupation be described as not notably, the united states ignores the part of the general assemblies request that the court determine the legal status of the occupation under the un charter. in addition to i, h, u, and other sources of law and the us fails to mention, let alone respond to switzerland's written statement, asserting that belligerent occupation is covered both by

a child and by the un charter and general international law. and that the legality of the occupation itself is governed by the latter. the united states also ignores the written statements of the many other states. which conclude that the israeli occupation is on the lawful as a whole. precisely because it's an exception and settlement of the occupied territory constitutes a permanent acquisition of territory by force in violation of article 24 in general, international. instead, in a single footnote, the united states responds only to those states, which is admitted that the israeli occupation is unlawful. under articles $40.41 of the draft articles on state responsibility for internationally wrongful condom. remarkably, the us contends that neither of those 2 articles reflect general international law

. this is truly stunning. a persistent failure of a state to fulfill and obligation arising under a peremptory norm is not on lawful under general. international law has provided an article 40 of the injunction in article 41 that no state shall recognize as lawful a situation created by a serious breach of a peremptory norm is not part of general international law. just how far in, disregarding the international legal order will the united states go to exempt israel from the consequences of its ongoing violation of peremptory norms. including the prohibition on acquisition of territory by force. apparently very far indeed according to former us president,

but rock obama. in the memoir he published in 2020 just about every country in the world considered israel's continued occupation of the palestinian territories to be a violation of international law. as a result, our diplomats found themselves in the awkward position of having to defend israel for actions that we ourselves opposed. this is exactly what the united states is doing. again, in these proceedings. mister president, members of the court. the evidence has before you in the written submissions of the state of palestine and dozens of other states and international organizations. and in the voluminous materials supplied to you by the secretary general. and it is in dispute under the umbrella which pro long,

military occupation. israel has been steadily annexing the occupied palestinian territory and it continues to do so. it's under the sky. the objective is the permanent acquisition of this territory. and the exercise of sovereignty over it in defiance. as a prohibition on acquisition of territory by force, the evidence is not only indisputable. it is of the highest pro rated valid investigative reports of authoritative united nations agents. reports of the secretary general resolutions of the security council on the general assembly. legislative and administrative act by the israeli government and public statements against interest by the most senior government officials. admitting that

israel's objective is sovereignty over all the territory east of the green line and its incorporation into a single jewish state from the river to the sea. in this case, there is no reason not to take them at their word because their deeds have been entirely consistent. for israel as its successive governments has made clear, there is no palestine. it simply does not exist. in november 2023 prime minister netanyahu declared that his government would never agree to a palestinian state in the occupied territory. he later declared, i will not compromise on full security control over all the territory west of jordan. and this is contrary to a palestinian state. israel's intransigent was confirmed

by its staunchest l. y. in december 2023. when you as president joe biden publicly lament that israel's leaders quote, don't want anything remotely approaching a 2 state solution. that is the very solution demanded by the security council. the general assembly, the overwhelming majority of states and the state of palestine itself. it is in fact, the only solution that can lead to lasting peace and security for these rarely people as well as the palestinian people. and it is this very solution that has been frustrated by israel's defiant insistence on maintaining its dominion over palestinian territory in perpetuity. and this is why the court's

advisory opinion is so critical and so urgent the best and possibly the last hope for the 2 state solution. if it is so vital to the needs of both peoples, is for the court to declare illegal. the main obstacle to that solution, the ongoing israeli occupation of palestine and for it to pronounce in the clear as possible terms that international law requires that this entire illegal enterprise be terminated completely unconditionally. and immediately mister president, the lowest clear and it demands nothing less. a permanent occupation, one that is founded upon annexation and massive settlement of the occupied territory and which aims to exercise sovereignty over it, is manifestly and gravely unlawful. it is an ongoing international wrong that must

be brought to an immediate end. as the court ruled in 1971 for the continued presence of south africa in the may be being illegal in south africa is under obligations to withdraw its administration from nivia immediately and thus put an end to its occupation of the territory. the secretary general applied this principle directly to palestine in his remarks to the security council . one months ago for palestinians must see their legitimate aspirations for fully independent viable and sovereign states realized in line with united nations resolutions, international law and previous agreements. israel's occupation must

and and this quote, this for the president. the proverbial ball is now in your court. the general assembly has asked you the critical questions. it is now your responsibility to answer them. silence is not an option as the immortal palestinian forward my smooth wish road. in silence, we become accomplished. but he assured us when we speak, every word has the power to change the world. as the president, members of the court, your words have such power. in 2004, the court of firm the inalienable right of the palestinian people to self determination up in 2024. it is time for you to

enable them finally to exercise that right by freeing them from the unlawful israeli occupation of their territory. so that they may live in a sovereign and fully independent state of their own in peaceful and secure co existence with all their neighbors, including israel, by upholding international law. which is all the state of palestine asked you to do. your powerful words will change the world. thank you mister president, members of the court for your kind courtesy. patience, attention were in your hands, mister president, whether you would like to take the mid morning break now or call our next week. i think it was that i could either invite the next speak this with degree fluid

after a coffee break of 10 minutes, the thing is suspend or you're watching. i'll just say the whole thing. a live coverage from the hey, got all of the united nations hires courts, the international court of justice, which is beginning a series of hearings into israel's illegal occupation of palestine. the hearings are going to be spread over the next 5 days. they're going to be looking at the legal implications of israel's continuing breach of palestinians. right? to self determination. we've just heard from paul, right. so he's an international legal specialist and he's been talking about the legality of the palestinian delegations case for the other galaxy visuals, prolonged occupation onyx station and settlement off. they occupied palestinian territory, but prior to him we also heard from the palestinian foreign minister re add on monica who was setting the scene with the opening remarks for the palestinian case,

which is going to set the scene for the next 5 days or so. he said that there is a genocide happening in god's i. he implored on the world court not to forget the palestinian people. and he said the occupation by israel should come to an unconditional. and i want to bring in my hama, doctor, he's a lawyer. i'm fond of mohammed, doctor, and associates. that's a law firm based and occupied easterly some practicing in the is really and polish standing and legal systems since 1993. he's joining us started from occupied east jerusalem. thank you very much indeed for being with us. i want to get one key element out of this as of the way, 1st of all, we know that the international court of justice is ultimately going to issue an advisory opinion. in that case, what difference on the next 5 days going to make if this is essentially only an advisory that israel doesn't necessarily have to adhere to? to yeah, to advise that because the design is not present or in this case,

but it doesn't mean that it has no wait. it's actually a very important legal document. it might be actually the most important click on the document in the history of part of start. after this advisor being able premium is issued by the highest score into award based on international law. and after hearing it more than just the 2 countries who are submitting arguments before the court and this opinion, we're how we actually be the basis for so many a political and legal proceedings that we think based afterwards. this actually, this, this opinion might become the infrastructure needed for more ed boycotts, divestment of sanctions against his red and lick case in the wars and governments of the world wouldn't be under the reliability of this advisory opinion to pick a different kind of policies, measures toward phase really occupation of boards,

there's really government and blogs towards is and as a state and it can be in, in sports, it can be and trade. it can be emitted 30, uh, export the design. and all these aspects and this adviser opinion will have an influence, of course, take that long job at the more value of stuff, general opinion. it's a fix on the support, the scene i'm goes is getting the nationality and all the copy terms of the world, such a buzzard opinion saying basically what the philippines i've been saying for the case now. but they are suffering from, they stopped and suffering from the occupation, but then it became on up all the time. and now we have reached the limit of genocide when we've uh, we've got an efficient stem from the international board just as

a these statements by the palestinians. all these arguments buttoned up at a speed unions where they have now a different way on the public clyburn as well as all the political events of governments in the world, but only the global so, but hopefully also europe, i'm going, i'm the mom and dad. i would appreciate it, i'm gonna leave it there for the moment. i want to bring to uh, go to brandon smiths, who's the ad to hey, go to the side of the instructional court of justice. and this is a very significant, really not least because it is a very broad discussion with the we are waiting for the reading. this is a very significant case in that it is very broad, isn't it? just talking through some of the points that you were hearing that were made in the 1st 2 or 3 speakers. the quote will be a, it's broad in scope and scale because we've got $52.00 states and 3 international organizations who be giving oral evidence here over the next 6 days in front of the

international court of justice. the world court, i'm going to be getting an indication of how that argument is going to pan out from really what the palestinians saying and the legal experts that you've had speaking in the last uh, the last hour hour and a half or so in this indication that making the case, the really israel has been actively. i'm saying we occupied westbank since 1967. it was intentionally intentionally expanding supplement construction because it intends to permanently occupied. we've been having statements, given evidence from the palestinian israeli leadership netanyahu members of the cabinet, making it clear that they have no intention of ever allowing a palestinian state to evolve or to be created on, on the line and occupied by israel. and that is really what we're going to have for the rest of the week, because every country, a part from the us we on the stomach, is going to be making the argument that the occupation of the policy of the entire

truth by israel is elite partner for another, thank you very much indeed, i wanna bring in modeling the shot of he's obviously the senior political on those . one of the key elements of this, of course, is one of precedent idol bits that this is ultimately is going to be an advisory opinion as we're being hearing just from bernard, but also from our previous guest, as well as our legal experts. and there was a real question that this is going to have some sort of ramification for cases going forward. absolutely, especially on the parts that will be discussed later and would have to be deliberated on by the court. the aspects of such as the apartheid is that on average human lot pock period going on on the occupied territories. and what does that mean? because when that was the judge? so in the case of south africa, it had huge your medications, right? and that goes to the sort of to the, to the nature of what we are witnessing today. because i'm not sure if you're not

there. so i'm going to come get to something maybe onto cloud. makes a bit our viewers around the world who'd been watching us the past almost 2 decades . must be wondering. what is this, what ought to be watching? how good israel the 6 decades occupation be legal? why are we discussing the legality of these all condition can be go such a system of violence by one people. i guess another people that goes on for decades be legal. can one country steal by the end of another people and set that on it to be legal? so why are we discussing it? why are the kind of thing is appealing to the i c j to get our own link? that is obvious to everyone around the world. we report thing or it for god's sakes every day. it's because of what you just ask is because when you sit up in legal terms, when the legitimate becomes by letter and spirit illegal.

so then they wouldn't be run medications and embry implications. what other organizations of countries such are stick, for example, your opinion and 50 your opinion that has a fee, but $3.00 of the relations or what is read. and now the i, c, j came out with the holding says, the occupied 3rd does are legal occupied is very practices. i'm a policy division, a crime against humanity goes to buy this thing is, would you really want to continue with their preferred trade status? what, what is, what would you want to provide us with arms? so this legal precedent as such, is hugely important. and i wanted to ask you about that. because a few days ago, we saw a court in the netherlands, which i found a i really wish that the dutch government could not supply parts for f. 35 fights with this to israel's not hold right for themselves. the legal expert we have just speaking before we leave, uh they broke for um they, they intermission was calling out the us saying that the us has repeatedly

supported israel and its actions. of course, the us as a major supplier of items to israel. if the ruling goes against israel, isn't it incumbent legally isn't not at least an obligation, as you were saying on those countries who are so extensively supporting israel and its actions to stop doing it. and what implications do you think that would have for the us us, it certainly would have around the vacations on some more than others. right. because were you going to see someone like the united states? uh, you know, go as we heard them before, with the south african case that dies each is a, this is minute less. this is based cuz we don't want to discuss it now. it's concept productive. it's in fact interfering in our efforts to help resolve these, right? that's fine issue. and so, but i think the idea that the ice age it would come rolling and what would it be nuanced not simply that that 6 decades occupation is illegal. but the fact that

apart a degree in which a once again, there's pressure that is one of the question of south africa crime against humanity has practiced every day in east judas with it as well as in the west bank and gaza and so on. so for this, what happens if occasions across the board some countries would be able to extend it more than others, but some countries, i've already been taking precautions for example, the united states high school. so that generally speaking, supplements on the respect to be a legal at one point, then as i said, this are saying they are problematic and then uh, you know, they, they're not helpful and, and so on, so forth. but generally speaking, the united states has taken the position that supplements are legal and hands every time they give a day's read. they on the line that this should not go to the west bank, sacramento, and so on, so forth. but the fact to it does these, your, it does because now in the westbank, there are these legal, jewish,

secular gods that directly supported by these, where the government directly financed by the government. then all you cation of institutions in the settlements directory supported by the is really the government . so this is not just a bunch of israeli citizens, right. the goals extreme is so whatever, taking golf and settling in the west bank, the project of sacrament and the west bank, the bypass road stuff. you just heard about the bypass road, the parked page roads that just kinda get on palestinians cannot get on the apartheid more that this court has made that judgement on back in 2004 that is in legal and occupied westbank. right. all of that, what has implications on the, on the intermediates on longer and i wanted to ask you about that because one of the, the words, that's an israel inside of it comes back to when it defends itself. in cases like this is that these lines are disputed and therefore the kind of be no annexation,

because these bonds are under dispute and there needs to be a resolution on that dispute. if we get, if there was a results from this court that is in favor of the palestinian case in for in favor of the u. n. g, a. that has brought this action where it is late that we've, israel's defense of these are disputes headlines. what to be clear, and this is actually an important point point you raise. this court is not judging what the occupied there there is not off you'll find or dispute that they are occupied. here. we're not hearing a debate on whether they are disputed or occupied. there's, i can make the claimant's once and it does. it makes outrages claims the huge lies non stop for 50 plus years. because at the united nations security council, on a number of occasions the nature of is are as

presence of the occupied. that is how was deemed as occupation. there is no dispute over the fact that is the occupies, the westbank does not need to deal with them except in the minds of the system is right, is that my point is radius of certain is ready. so is there a mix claims? but those claims are not in line with the international premier agent with international as transpired at the not technician general or somebody. and, but you're not the admissions security council. what the court is going to be deliberating on that risk occupation. this minister occupation has not gone on for 5 years. 10 years, 15 years, 20253035 is going on for 56 years. and guess what, what we've just heard before, and the latest arguments wire actor is that is our intention to make it permanent, that ever think about israel supplements project that justifies the presence of is

really military on the occupied territories. ever think about that supplements project mix it, annexed ation, defacto and visual buy is right. and has this occupation becomes annexation and has it's illegal? right? so it's not, it's not the question whether is our occupies is what the additional completion is . niga for a certain amount of time. but they are showing is that it has had and has every intention to prolong this occupation as long as possible to make a defacto annexation enhance. it is a need that you cannot go on occupying and other people for over the over then 5 decades and still say, well, you know, it's just temporary. it's my going for are but 50 is another 100 years to 100 years . it's always stopped or no. this is not temporarily because ever think about it, everything about it looks per minute, especially when you move in the fact though by design communities,

jewish communities on those occupied territories, your office k plan illegally from palestinian is living on those to dance. and you give it to the jews that are legally legally circling that. and you have one generation after another generation now of and he goes settlers. and when they showed us the diagram that we saw, how i remember, for example, it wouldn't be salt peace process, started in 1991 in madrid. we have something like 75000 and suckers 75000 and suckers today. there are 700000 settlers, including east jerusalem. there's about $500000.00 in the occupied the west bank plus around $200000.00 plus in east jerusalem. so there are an occupied territories of that 97, some 700000 settlers in legal settlers, which means it double 10 times since 1991. in terms of the

impact, implications on the ramifications of the ripple effect if you like, of the, of whatever ruling is eventually made. if it is made in favor of, of the u. n. g, a case, but also on behalf of the palestinians. what kind of impact do you think is that going to have on cases that are brought before the international criminal court or the um, the human rights council. for example, we should specify that the i, c j is there in order to facilitate issues between states. but of the international criminal court, see this, here's cases which i've directed it towards individuals. what's to knock on effect of this going to be if it is um, if it really goes against israel, despite the fact of no legal scholar but logically, right. and from that record from history, the time that i've read as a student of this conflict with this issue of this whole party of this occupation

is that there is a domino effect. and that there is a relationship, there is a 100 between one another. whenever i wonder when it comes out, it becomes precedents and it's used on another order. and clearly what we see now from the, from the claims made by the lawyers is that if you notice that there, that arguments are based on either the united nations have come up with united nations resolution security council general assembly. the 2004 non binding court opinion of the i, c j back then and so on and so forth. so this, you always build precedence and you always build arguments on those arguments accumulate. and one argument been can help in another port over another argument. and yes, we would do move from the court like the i c, j. the discusses issues on the printer between the states to the i c. c, to the international criminal court. what do you discuss more?

the responsibility for example of is there any there's up, is there any genitals or has been responsible for crimes? wherefore does where the where, where given where people died, what killed in more that we know that was in every possible aspect of its execute action was illegal. so i think is really, is, is there any need, those should worry, moving forward about that they will end up in prison, orton or in the hague because they are unfortunately continued to be shifted by the united states as we've heard in the arguments earlier. but i think once again, they would be exposed more and more to local. a legal process is like we seen in holland, like we've seen in the u. k. and other places before, whereby you will see more or more is really need those war criminals being looked into investigated then perhaps i rush to. mm hm. i'm just looking at some of

the pictures. now we're just seeing that the board members are coming back and we're not going to go to them until they start speaking. we're waiting for a i believe the next speaker is going to be not me to, i'm not send them to me. i may have them as a legal x score. it's not me at all. just give them the talking about. do you have intro is persecution, racial discrimination. i apologize against the policy and in the president. let's listening, distinguished members of the cool. it's an honor to appear to be for you on behalf of the state of palestine to address is based on discrimination, basically russian and the 4th type against the policy, the p starting from the neck of 1940 something. now, is there any, has a doctor this from nathan, the legislation measures by which it has established it deeply and friends. system of racial discrimination against palistine is subjugating them to is there is organization and denying the fundamental rights discrimination

against the philistines. beeping is as in that good to is for on occupation, as is the annexation and coral, 9 zation of the palestinian territory. they are inexplicable parts of the same home and feed of the child. the one special report there has explained that i cote or at the heart of this little colonial project of is there any, is it comprehensive due or legal and political system that provides comprehensive rights and living conditions for the jewish is really settlers in the west bank including east jerusalem, while imposing upon the philistines, military one and contorted without any of the basic protections of international method in human rights law and of code. in the o p. p. is the easiest if any laws apply itself to be toward any to illegal

settlers. one that going in is really military laws apply to the policy need population on the sort of basis of nascent nice much national or actually cottage and using the tool box of population control and then who made x amounting to aggravate the forms of racial discrimination is are in the 6 every aspect of palestinians life from birth to this, resulting in many fast human rights violations. and an overt system, often oppression and persecution. treated as a burden and the demographics, correct? but that's the means, rights to life, liberty, and the phone, the month of freedoms, of systematically denied in east jerusalem by the working thousands of
