'Israel has repeatedly refused to engage in meaningful negotiations with Palestine': ICJ hears

Andreas Zimmerman continues:
- The breaches by Israel include violations of the prohibition of acquisition of territory by force, the prohibition of racial discrimination and apartheid, and the denial of the right to self-determination.
- The questions concern the UN’s continuous responsibility to resolve the question of Palestine, until the question is resolved in all its aspects in a satisfactory manner.
- Israel has repeatedly refused to engage in meaningful negotiations with Palestine on the basis of international law. The mere hypothetical possibility of future negotiations cannot thus be used as a pretext for avoiding the implication of international law.
