Episode 27: Preoccupied: The ICJ’s Palestine Advisory Opinion

In this episode, Dapo Akande, Marko Milanovic and Philippa Webb
are joined by Yuval Shany, and discuss the recent advisory
opinion of the International Court of Justice on the Legal
Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in
the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. The
hosts and their guest explore the Court’s reasoning on how
violations of international law in the occupied Palestinian
territories rendered unlawful Israel’s continued presence there.
They also examine various ambiguities in the Court’s opinion and
what drove them, on matters such as apartheid in the territories
and the occupation of Gaza.
