Limiting ‘Security’ as a Justification in the ICJ’s Advisory Opinion

Limiting ‘Security’ as a Justification in the ICJ’s Advisory Opinion Bastaki, Jinan Author aut Text xx# 2024 Verfassungsblog 2024-10-13 eng While international law accepts that States may employ otherwise prohibited actions in exceptional circumstances and within certain constraints, the Advisory Opinion firmly affirms that security cannot justify illegal actions such as annexation or prolonged occupation. The rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination, cannot be compromised by security claims. The Advisory Opinion serves to limit State practices predicated upon security when those practices violate essential rights and when the security claim is based upon an illegal situation created by the very State which invokes security concerns.
