lars of being outlining their case. and proof of that is the latest lawyer to be doing that he's talking about the consequences of the proceeds breaches by israel, of international law. let's listen back, introduce you on to the appropriate, the site natural resources. the states has the obligation to co operate with a view to effectively realizing the right of the palestinian people to self determination. they must also prosecute and punish, punish oh individuals responsible for serious crimes of the international. it could be their own nationals before national. ready or by co pricing with see, i see, see now there's a point i wish i'd like to more especially true, your attention distinguished members of the court. this relates to paragraph 3 of article $41.00 which specifies that it is without pressure this to further

consequences that this would repeat without princess the further consequences that a serious breach as defined, but also equal 40 may entail and international and difficult as true that the obligation to the states and the you entered to stop at these duties of cooperation and nor recognition as palestine explained. and it's with comments. they have an obligation both custom, re, unconventional to pursue, punish, or extra time the officer violates just be they will crimes, crimes against c menissi crime if apartheid, not to mention acts of genocide committed against the palestinian people whose clothes, ability you recognized in your order of 26,

january more if you express the re cooled in your opinion on the i quote you here a states policies to the geneva convention relative to protect us within persons in the time before. and i know big ation while respecting the you and charles and international rule to ensure compliance by israel with an international humanitarian, little as embodied in that convention. this publication covers a crimes all crimes committed by o at the instigation of israel to distinguish them is cool. i think the case that you've had before you be contentious or advisory has raised so many very, very serious questions as those on which you are cold through today. the number of participants in these proceedings 57 during the written phase,

54 who will be participating in these hearings. best witness to the importance of the stakes in play and to the conviction of the international community estates as a whole. the court has a crucial role to play, to help put an end to the dramatic situation created by these rails breaches of the most and from square simple principles of international like a large number of states and international organizations, palestine details in it's written up as of ations, the consequences of the very numerous and serious violations of international, committed by israel, including most of his most fundamental rules. kind of starting considered as did it fools to use a guy the general assembly the u. n. o states to ensure the israel

f i n e complies with those obligations opponent, stemming from its repeated systematic and continuous breaches of the most fundamental principles of international rule which let me repeat of these principles. oh, these by relations has been proves about by the parole occupation of palestine, which is surely the mother of all its foundations. your opinion, distinguished members of the court will be a very precious guide for palestine to this thing is publicized, fully aware that you can just wave a magic wand and put it into these ready occupation of the tragic situation of the palestinian people. but postpone is persuaded that by family and precisely setting out the legal consequences of israel's persistent violation of the rights

of the palestinian people, you can buy your pending and make an appreciable contributions putting an end to this terrible injustice. and what for a just lost in peace, allowing each state in the region to live in security and of citation in accordance with the security council injunction of 64 years back. and at the same time, you will fulfill your primary function to ensure the compliance of international to your chords, those ministers. so thank you very much. i would be very happy if you could cool is x the c dot to be a month. so for the photo submissions over the floor, projects, and seam, instead of the month for gravity, florida expense,

mr. president, on all the members of the court, i think you have in your folders, the full text of the origin of the text of binding speech. but i tried the lights of the lateness of our i sure to serve as we got here in this great hall of justice in the peace of us, we are reminded of these simple or peaceful justice. peace full. the general assembly brought the question of palestine before the court because a lot of people don't know and piece are in jeopardy. the clarity of the low as it pertains to this question,

is only matched by the evidence of its continued breach. but as the items, as we address you today, this page has reached its most inhumane level. more than 2000000 palestinians in gaza are being pushed all the way to the border to the very bring a steam, young children, women and men consumed by disease, despair, destruction, and deaths which are spreading like wildfire. in this pop up, you find palestine set that is on page and pedo rise. no village, town, quoted city, no community, no sanctity. spirit. is there any leaders?

no longer feel the need to hide their intentions. they speak openly of getting rid of the palestinian people. one way or another they defy the know the low is barely fighting back for palestine. the law continues to be finally, a measure of disability or breach is probably better than the catalyst for action an accountability. what does the international know mean for palestinian children and guys have today it has predicted new that of them no to this child is this. it has not protected bid. families or communities is not protected that a lot. it's or in their hopes or homes. we

are proud under resilient people that has to do more than it's chad agony. it is so painful to be better seen that today. how could we be just subjected to such laws and injustice, such lawlessness and human life? time and time again. what does international law mean for a nation bestowed within rights but enjoy in canada. it took 75 years for the when to accommodate that, but a lot of volume on disposition displacement photos, outland, and deny end of all rights and existence. and we are seeing a type in photo,

but again, magic of millions, forcibly little bit. but what is the unknown fence, starvation, the probation, and be human is ition, enabling one people to and pause all of this on another. but i've seen is under occupation and is, is it a few days in the dashboard all, all day us for a good rice and to live in freedom and dignity in the us and sister land for 75 years to find a steam and people have faced attempts to push them out of geography and indeed out of history. and it goes on and it will go on forever. unless a non tentative international law is a pedant,

unless and until the unlawful occupation of palestine and mister president, members of the cost. a lot of the said the termination was that it took my ass in the context of a mandate 100 years ago. yet submitted tiny wesley negated by the actions of the mind that the republic, the question of palestine was passed on to the united nations at the time of its inception. and has remained on its edge and above sense. in the aftermath of the not via the united nations admitted into membership. why emphasizing the need for it to respect resolution 181 and 194 concerning the palestinian state. and that, that i know to to it. then to the motion of the status of those to them on the right over to or by the stand, refugees is

a liquid lies these resolutions to secure its admission on late during that on them. as soon as it was admitted ever since it became convinced that the new realities imposed by the use of force would override the obligations are using from the root of international law with violence. new consequences of the 1967, the security thompson's emphasize the admissibility of the acquisition of code 3 by war and code for the withdrawal and elizabeth and he armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict instead is the it was started to customize the land the general assembly

and resolution 3005, hold up on is a and the zip to this is the accession of any part of the occupied territories and the establishment to visit. i use settlements on those territories and the transfer of parts of an alien population into the occupied territories instead is an formalized. it's an ex ation of jerusalem and other parts of the west bank and port hundreds of thousands of supplements and all that kind of 3. in 197450 years ago. the general assembly offend the in a little bit of rights over the palestinian people in palestine including but i to set a determination without experiment, interference. but i to national independence on separate entity, as well as the in a little bit arrived over the palestinians to return to their homes on property from which they have been displaced uprooted and called for the 10

instead is an denied the existence of the palace team people, the united nations has consistent, cleared it today to these calls, yet it has consistently rejected them and sensing its violations, probably better than ending them. so here we are though the law is absolutely clear. it is being confident without accountability, there is no justice and without justice, there can be no peace is it and it must be made to bear the consequences of it's illegal, conduct throughout the band. reap the benefits of that 75 years. just this can no longer wait for the day is a has and if you printing and suddenly decides to reverse course

and commit to the little new end resolution. a lot of jeremy in the set of for justice has brought us before you before the international court of justice. following the general assembly's decision to seek your guidance, we call on you to confirm that it is presence in the occupied 15 instead of 3 is illegal. i repeat it is illegal that the presence of its occupation forces on such gloves is illegal. and that's, that it's occupation must thus come to an immediate, complete, and unconditional n. i repeat, an immediate, complete, and unconditional event. this occupation has said as cover photos,

bailey's colonial designs, the acquisition of cnn thought activity by force. 19 a t. the security comes simply a fund, the overriding necessity to end the per moment of your patient up that authorities occupied by as of right. and since 1967, including jerusalem, if the occupation was deemed for long and 1980, how should it be cut off? that is today nearly 45 years later, i repeat, if the occupation was deemed prolonged in 1980, how should it be cut off to rise today? nearly 45 years later. and if it was an overriding necessity to end it, then, what exactly is it now?

i ask mister president, letters of the court. the united nations admitted in the 194975 years later, by this time is yet to be admitted. as for the member of the united nations, i sat in the general assembly next to to present to the over liberation movements. next to the amc and swap. we stood side by side with them as they achieve their independence and the pen to the right for the places among the community of nations. they cannot accept that the palestinian people are left behind any longer indefinitely denied their internet rights. that is why many of those states will appear

before the score. in the common case, mister president, members over the quote. based on the you and direct quote, you should have no difficulty arriving at the conclusion that the occupation is for a long that's been a scene instead of 30 has been antics that's a lot of self determination has been denied. and that the people of palestine have been subjected to a systematic racial, discrimination of the occupation. it says cannot be distinguished from these breaches. they are not merely that is all of the occupation, but rather the foundation upon which the occupation dress, rooted in the singular unlawful gold of minturn and paramount as the the dom.

and then over the occupied by the cnn category and relegating the palestinians. it has not been able to displace the inferior status and the on that and but to be deprived of that in any level of an alien level of rights. finding from this distinguished court that the occupation is illegal and drawing the legal consequences from this determination would contribute to bringing it to an immediate and bathing the way to adjust and lasting peace in closing on i, but i don't know, but the judges the state of palestine appeals to this course to guide the international community in paulding international ending in justice,

achieving adjusts and lasting piece to guide us towards a future in which as being and children are heated. as soon as they move to fix that in which the identity over the group to which we've been wrong does not diminish. but what arise which we owe tightened as if you know what you have in which not a senior and i know is riley's is can you do it in 2 states, live side by side in peace and security,

the better of seeing and only people on the demand the respect for their rights. they ask for them nothing more. they cannot accept nothing less and nothing ends. the future of freedom and justice and peace gotten beginning. uh, it is within your power to give it to the get a statement posted on what demo is, what the required and what that means to practice for the whole members of the united nations. we trust and you would with them. if you have fairness and dual dictation to justice and the role, and i thank you very much mister president. i think the extra fee mister month for this concludes the order statement of the sip of by this time still facing things to an end this morning session the course would meet again tomorrow at 10 am to

hear south africa at a g area. so that area, taking them over to another lens, bangladesh, and based on this i think that's what you're watching. i'll just say there will be bringing the live coverage of the international court of justice in the hey, holding public hearings on the consequences of israel's occupation in order to allow all parties to give their views on the legal consequences of israel's occupation of the palestinian territories. eventually they're going to issue a non binding legal opinion that was palestinian ambassador to the united nations 3 months or making the closing statements. they are clearly very emotional and particularly talking about the impact of there's really action on the lives of children. he said there's really leaders defy the law and the law is barely fighting back. he said, the force of freedom, justice, and peace can begin. now we're going to talk to abundance. smith live with the heck

out side international court of justice of, of us who are just joining us. a bunch of this is a very significant case, and they're helping several highlights things that we should to bring to people's attention over the last few hours. just focus through what's been happening, a rob, it was impossible not to be moved, really listening to re add month. so that concluding the policy and you know, argument as to why the occupation should be considered illegal and we sole read month. so himself moved to tears and breaking off as ex, as he described how international as not protected palestinian children in gauze or all the occupied westbank before he spoke with hon. 3 hours, a very clearly reasoned legal argument from legal legal experts appointed by the powers domino authority, explaining why they believe the code should deliver an opinion that israel 66 year

old patient of the west bank and gaza is illegal on amongst those arguments. we've heard, how is riley's deliberately settling occupied land? there are now $700.00. these riley settlers living in the occupied westberg. and how about demographic manipulation is a breach of international law. we've heard how palestinians are treated differently by the law compared to israelis. and how about these effectively upon the site we've heard, how is riley is making no secret of it slow, but steady on x ation of the westbank on the how we prevent palestinians from returning to the alarm that received during the knock. but we heard from one very highly respected international expert speaking for the palestinians. full right. but he said that a permanent okey permanent occupation is a legal oxy. more on any set, the best possible use at this here is the best and possibly last hope for 2 state solution is with a quote to the class that the ongoing of patients is illegal. role banner,

this is just the day, one of i believe a 5 day of succession of hearing is what's going to be happening over the next 5 days. as well as an indication, really of, of the sorts of testimony. all the sorts of opinion, legal opinion we're going to be hearing over the next 6 days. in fact, $52.00 states and 3 international organizations will be giving that opinion. and this goes back to a decision taken of coal by the general assembly fucking 2022 to ask the will cold, international court of justice to deliver an opinion on the legality of the occupation. now, $52.00 states are offering an opinion and we understand the safety of them. going to be advocating that israel is occupation is a legal only the us i'm teaching. we're hearing all the outliers. what the code is been, i've seen to address these 2 particular specific questions and that is one of the

legal consequences of the ongoing violation by israel, of the rights of policy and the self examination by the prolonged occupation the supplement. and i'd like sation of how as an entire truth, and then that will also have to answer, well, how do those policies affect the illegals, the legal states as the patient a lot, all the legal consequences that arise for all state on the un, from the base of the patient and the co pay those observation, those opinions by the states. it will be a while low before it gets these ruling, perhaps not before the end of the year. we know, of course, the reality on the ground palestinians in the west bank and gaza. israel has ignore the international court of justice before ruled in 2004. the separation will turn the west bank and his route was illegal and ordered it to be taken down. his rail as expects funded that will extend it. it's 3 times longer than it was an

international call to justice rules back in 2000 spun of another. thank you very much, ben smith talking to us from outside the international court of justice and the hague. going to bring in my, with the shot, i'll just get a senior political analyst as brandon was mentioning a very emotional speech closing speech by um, we had months over there. but he did say one thing that stood out to me was a, what does international law mean for the nation bestowed within hadn't rights but enjoying non and that struck me as being the main source of the whole argument. yes, absolutely. um. except that the uh, i thought that the argument of course was nuanced in, in, in really fantastic way. i think the palestinians and their legal team have presented the case very similar to that presented by south africa about the question of cause and genocide. but here on the question of the occupation, and i think in very much the we have months or sort of was the culmination of,

sort of a more of an emotional, political, rational culmination of these very nuanced political arguments that were quite clear, quite comprehensive. and to my mind convincing and as a student of this issue, i tell you just to, although, you know, i'm familiar with much, most of the arguments being presented, but to hear them coming together the way they were presented, soulful hit on over the past 3 hours. of argumentation what you conclude more than anything else is the fact that this occupation, illegal occupation is the 1st of all evil. and its sense perpetuating which as meaning as long as it goes on, it's going to create the reasons for its existence and has it, does it become permanent? and is the false only about it because it's the source of violence and

violations of human rights individual. and collective, but assuming human rights is the one that's paving the way of allowing and deepening in total knives. ation, the legal colonizer should supplement. it's also allowing and deepening graces in by the colonizers, and it's also perpetuating the confiscation of land and legal grabbing of land. stealing gland and the direction of a party system where all of these elements of violence, of hatred, racism, of violence come together to create that lopsided system of jewish control over the palestinians. separate but an equal. right? so i think making those arguments on how occupation list to that denial of says that the addition of a paper which is there in any eligible. right.
