	B'Tselem - The Seperation Barrier - Opinion of the International Court of Justice
		In a document that it submitted to the court, Israel argued that the question involved was political and not legal, and should be dealt with bilaterally, between it and the Palestinians.
		However, the court pointed out that there is a grave fear that the barrier's route would create "facts on the ground" that lead to the de facto annexation of the territory and determination of the future borders between Israel and a Palestinian state.
		On this point, the court held that, insofar as the territories fell into Israel's hands as a result of war with two states that are party to the Convention, the state must exercise control over the said territory in accordance with the provisions of the Convention.

		The ICJ consideration of this matter is highly problematic - both for the hope for Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation as well as for the integrity of the court.
		It is clear that the International Court of Justice is not an appropriate forum for issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
		This is a serious misuse of the Court and threatens to undermine its integrity and the integrity of international law.

	International Court of Justice
		The Court considers that the accepted practice of the Assembly, as it has evolved, is consistent with Article 12, paragraph 1; it is accordingly of the view that the General Assembly, in adopting resolution ES?10/14, seeking an advisory opinion from the Court, did not contravene the provisions of Article 12, paragraph 1, of the Charter.
		The Court points out that, in the present instance, if the General Assembly requests the Court to state the “legal consequences” arising from the construction of the wall, the use of these terms necessarily encompasses an assessment of whether that construction is or is not in breach of certain rules and principles of international law.
		The Court recalls its previous case law, which emphasized that current developments in “international law in regard to non?self?governing territories, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, made the principle of self?determination applicable to all [such territories]”, and that the right of peoples to self?determination is today a right erga omnes.
