The Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the “Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem” was a groundbreaking moment in international law. It has consequences not only for Israel, but also for third States, as well as international and regional organizations, in terms of non-recognition and non-cooperation. In this edited volume, Palestinian, Israeli, and other scholars take stock of the Advisory Opinion and its regional and global impact.

“This collection of thoughtful, perceptive and rigorous essays on the Advisory Opinion complements the reasons of the Court and its individual members. Out of this complex landscape a great clarity emerges of a legal masterpiece produced by an outstanding Court that is more relevant and dynamic today than ever before.”

“It’s unusual to see a blog symposium develop into a book. But if there ever was a judicial decision, and a blog symposium, deserving of such treatment, then it’s this one.”
