Israeli court orders government to produce assessment of ICJ security fence ruling
Jeannie Shawl at 11:52 AM ET
Israel's Supreme Court Thursday gave the government 30 days to produce a statement on the International Court of Justice decision that said Israel's security fence was a violation of international law. The court order, issued during hearings on a petition challenging government land expropriation for the fence, also says the government should specify the ramifications of the ICJ decision on Israeli policies governing construction of the barrier. As reported on JURIST's Paper Chase, Israeli officials have taken steps to comply with a Supreme Court order [PDF] to make the barrier less disruptive for Palestinians, but has ignored the non-binding ICJ advisory opinion and a later UN General Assembly resolution calling on Israel to comply with the ICJ decision. Haaretz has more. The ICJ has provided a summary of its opinion on Israel's security fence.
