52 States address ICJ hearing on Israel’s practices in Palestine
No fewer than 52 States and three International Organisations have provided comments and presentations on the legal consequences of Israel’s policies and practices in Occupied Palestinian Territory. | The UN correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the states made their presentations during the public hearing at the International Court of Justice, based on the UN General Assembly’s request for an advisory opinion. The hearing, which began on Monday, is expected to close on Feb. 26. Filed before the ongoing four-month-old war in Gaza began, the case triggered heated commentary even before the court’s president, Judge Nawaf Salam, opened the hearings. The General Assembly submitted two specific questions to the World Court in its December 2022 request.
