Sum. of Dr.@Susanrosepower’s comments (Head of Research @alhaq_org) on the consequences of ICJ advisory opinion & #state_responsibility, during our webinar:On the Table of the ICJ: The Legality/Illegality of #Israeli_Occupation &the Subsequent Int’l Responsibility
#L4PThreads
2/8
Article 14 of the Draft articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts state that the international #obligations on a state committing a continuing crime arise only for the period during which the act continues.
3/8
According to IL Commission, an example of continuing unlawful act is unlawful occupation . Therefore, #Israel is responsible for the consequences of the #occupation as long as it continues, even if it was deemed to be an act of self-defence initially.
4/8
Numerous res. were adopted by #UNGA calling for Israel’s unconditional & total withdrawal from #OPT, meaning the occupation really has exceeded all parameters of necessity and proportionality & that withdrawal is not subject to #negotiation,as the occupation is a wrongful act
5/8
There are important #customary_international_law consequences that flow form the breach of an internationally #wrongful_act, these include the obligation to cease that act, offer appropriate assurances and guarantees of non-repetition.
6/8
Other states also have an obligation to not recognise internationally wrongful acts, nor render aid or assistance in maintaining that situation which breaches #peremptory_norms of #international_law (Article 41-2 of drafts articles on state responsibility)
7/8
In ICJ judicial precedents & #UNSC past practices in cases of illegal occupation, we can see that third states were obliged to abstain from entering into treaty or economic relations with occupying power &remove diplomatic missions.Also see #EU recent measures against #Russia
8/8
Palestinian #right_of_return could be an issue that the ICJ addresses -for completion of #decolonization- and this would include calls for cooperation of all states (Similar measures had been taken in the case of Iraq-Kuwait)
-End-

#Israel has passed a bill allowing revoking of citizenship/residency targeting its Palestinian citizens & #OPT's Palestinians citing ‘anti-terror.’
L4P's @Hassan_Imran had prev. called it out in @MiddleEastEye’s @Ray_Uddin's article:

2/7
In 2008, #Israeli_law was amended to allow the interior minister to revoke citizenship based on loyalty. The first incident was in 2017 when an Israeli court approved revoking the citizenship of a Palestinian citizen of #Israel on the basis of loyalty.
3/7
The decision was rejected by the Israeli high court but for procedural reasons, not substantive.
Lately, French-Palestinian rights lawyer Salah Hamouri was deported from Jerusalem to France on that basis.Why would a Palestinian be obliged to be loyal to the Occupying Power!?

تقرير المقررة الخاصة للأمم المتحدة حول #فلسطين:لماذا هو مختلف هذه المرة؟
1/15 ليس مجرد تقرير آخر يوثق الانتهاكات الإسرائيلية،بل تقرير سياسي قانوني يستعرض فهما شاملا لجذور القضية ويؤكد على ضرورة تغيير النهج الدولي للوصول إلى حل ينهي الاحتلال/ #الاستعمار-الاستيطاني كما يصفه التقرير Image
2/15 وهو يختلف عن سياسة الأمم المتحدة السائدة ل "التهميش القانوني الدولي" الذي ينظر إلى القضية فقط من خلال عدسة انتهاكات القانون الدولي الإنساني وحقوق الإنسان، بينما يتجاهل جوهر المشكلة التي تعيق حرية الشعب الفلسطيني.
3/15 يؤطر التقرير الاحتلال في سياقه الأوسع، حيث يعود إلى جذور الاحتلال ووجهات نظر المؤسسين الإسرائيليين والقادة اللاحقين، وهو بذلك يتجاوز تكرار نفس الحلول غير الفعالة مرارًا وتكرارًا (والتي تدعو الطرفين للوصول إلى حل ينهي الاحتلال فقط من خلال المفاوضات).

UN SR report on🇵🇸:What is different this time?🧵
1/15 It's not just another report documenting violations, but a legal policy report navigating a holistic view on the roots of the cause &emphasizing the need for a paradigm shift puts dismantling occupation/colonialism at its core
2/15 It differs from the typical UN approach of “International Legal Subalternity” that views the cause only through the lens of IHL and HR violations while ignoring the core of the problem.
3/15 It frames the occupation within its wider context going back to its roots & the views of its leaders. It is an attempt to legally characterize the situation, moving beyond repeating the same ineffective solutions over & over (i.e. ending the occupation through negotiations)
