Why I wrote From Coexistence to Conquest
A Message for the EU: Withdrawing Preferential Trade with Israel is an Appropriate Response to Israel’s Violation of International Human Rights Law
Ever since the International Court of Justice (ICJ) rendered its advisory opinion on the wall to the General Assembly on 9 July 2004, there have been calls from various quarters for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel. Some of the questions that have arisen in this context are whether sanctions are legal, whether they will work against Israel, and if not, what alternative means are available to pressure Israel to comply with international law.
The Wall, the International Court and the Palestinian People’s Right to Self-Determination
On Friday 9 July, the International Court of Justice rendered an Advisory Opinion on the following question:
“What are the legal consequences arising from the construction of the wall being built by Israel, the occupying power, in the occupied Palestinian territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, as described in the report of the Secretary-General, considering the rules and principles of international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, and relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions?”1
