  • De Facto and De Jure Annexation: a Relevant Distinction in International Law? Israel and Area C: a Case Study
    FREE UNIVERSITY OF BRUSSELS European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation A.Y. 2018/2019 De facto and de jure annexation: a relevant distinction in International Law? Israel and Area C: a case study Author: Eugenia de Lacalle Supervisor: François Dubuisson ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, our warmest thanks go to our thesis supervisor, François Dubuisson. A big part of this piece of work is the fruit of his advice and vast knowledge on both the conflict and International Law, and we certainly would not have been able to carry it out without his help. It has been an amazing experience to work with him, and we have learned more through having conversations with him than by spending hours doing research. We would like to deeply thank as well all those experts and professors that received an e-mail from a stranger and accepted to share their time, knowledge and opinions on such a controversial topic. They have provided a big part of the foundation of this research, all the while contributing to shape our perspectives and deepen our insight of the conflict. A list of these outstanding professionals can be found in Annex 1. Finally, we would also like to thank the Spanish NGO “Youth, Wake-Up!” for opening our eyes to the Israeli-Palestinian reality and sparkling our passion on the subject. At a more technical level, the necessary field research for this dissertation would have not been possible without its provision of accommodation during the whole month of June 2019. 1 ABSTRACT Since the occupation of the Arab territories in 1967, Israel has been carrying out policies of de facto annexation, notably through the establishment of settlements and the construction of the Separation Wall.

  • A Hybrid Commission of Inquiry for Israel/Palestine
    Settling With History: A Hybrid Commission of Inquiry for Israel/Palestine Zinaida Miller* It seems likely that peace in Israel/Palestine can never mean a complete separation between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs. The existential proximity of the two nations, economic exigen- cies, and overriding geopolitical considerations may well keep them always entangled with each other. This will make mental and ideological reconciliation, on a level deeper than the decision making of political elites, an important requirement to assure the stability and resilience of peace in the region for the longer run. -Mordechai Bar-Oni INTRODUCTION The project of "planning for the peace" in Israel/Palestine2 has come to appear increasingly utopian in the bloody years since the Second Intifada began.3 Despite violence, repression, and the creation of a tangible wall * Candidate, JD/MALD 2007, Harvard Law School and the Fletcher School, Tufts University.

  • The Impact of International Law on International Cooperation: Theoretical Perspectives Edited by Eyal Benvenisti and Moshe Hirsch Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521835542 - The Impact of International Law on International Cooperation: Theoretical Perspectives Edited by Eyal Benvenisti and Moshe Hirsch Frontmatter More information THE IMPACT OF INTERNATIONAL LAW ON INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION Theoretical Perspectives The point of departure of this bookis that the disciplines of international law and international relations are inexorably inter-linked. Neither can be understood properly in isolation. Like every legal system that operates in a specific societal system, international law functions in the international system. International law grows out of the international society: it reflects the particular character of this society, and it also affects the relationships among the actors in this system. At the same time, international law pro- duces norms that influence, if not shape, the behavior of international actors. This bookaims at advancing our understanding of the influences inter- national norms and international institutions have over the incentives of states to cooperate on issues such as environment and trade. The different contributions to this bookadopt two different approaches in examining this question. One approach focuses on the constitutive elements of the international legal order, including customary international law, soft law and frameworkconventions, and on the types of incentives states have, such as domestic incentives and reputation. The other approach examines closely specific issues in the areas of international environment protection and international trade. The combined outcome of these two approaches is a more refined understanding of the forces that pull states toward closer cooperationorpreventsthemfromdoingso,andtheimpactofdifferent types of international norms and diverse institutions on the motivation of states. The insights gained suggest ways for enhancing states’ incentives to cooperate through the design of norms and institutions.

  • EJIL Foreword Upholding Democracy Amid the 9.5 Challenges of New Technology: What Role for the Law of Global Governance?
    The European Journal of International Law © The Author(s), 2018. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of EJIL Ltd. All rights reserved. For Permissions, please email: [email protected] EJIL Foreword Upholding Democracy Amid the 9.5 Challenges of New Technology: What Role for the Law of Global Governance? Eyal Benvenisti* 9.10 Abstract 9.15 The law on global governance that emerged after World War II was grounded in irrefutable trust in international organizations and an assumption that their subjection to legal discipline and judicial review would be unnecessary and, in fact, detrimental to their success. The law that evolved systematically insulated international organizations from internal and external scru- 9.20 tiny and absolved them of any inherent legal obligations – and, to a degree, continues to do so. Indeed, it was only well after the end of the Cold War that mistrust in global governance began to trickle through into the legal discourse and the realization gradually took hold that the operation of international organizations needed to be subject to the disciplining power of the law. Since the mid-1990s, scholars have sought to identify the conditions under which trust in 9.25 global bodies can be regained, mainly by borrowing and adapting domestic public law precepts that emphasize accountability through communications with those affected. Today, although a ‘culture of accountability’ may have taken root, its legal tools are still shaping up and are often contested. More importantly, these communicative tools are ill-equipped to address the new modalities of governance that are based on decision making by machines using raw data (rather 9.30 than two-way exchange with stakeholders) as their input.

  • Oxford Statement on the International Law Protections Against Cyber
    Oxford Statement on the International Law Protections against Cyber Operations Targeting the Health-Care Sector May 2020 We, the undersigned public international lawyers, have watched with growing concern reports of cyber incidents targeting medical facilities around the world, many of which are directly involved in responding to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We are concerned that the impact of such incidents is exacerbated by the existing vulnerability of the health-care sector to cyber harm. Even in ordinary times, this sector is particularly vulnerable to cyber threats due to its growing digital dependency and attack surface. We consider it essential that medical facilities around the world function without disruption as they struggle to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Any interference with the provision of health-care, including by cyber means, risks further loss of life as thousands continue to die every day. We support the International Committee of the Red Cross’ call on States to protect medical services and medical facilities from harmful cyber operations of any kind. We emphasize that cyber operations do not occur in a normative void or a law-free zone. As recognized by the United Nations General Assembly, international law, and in particular the Charter of the United Nations, is applicable and essential to maintaining peace and stability and promoting an open, secure, stable, accessible and peaceful information and communications technology environment. Guided by these considerations, we agree that the following rules and principles of international law protect medical facilities against harmful cyber operations. We encourage all States to consider these rules and principles when developing national positions as well as in the relevant multilateral processes and deliberations: Oxford Statement on the International Law Protections against Cyber Operations Targeting the Health-Care Sector 1.

  • The Security Council and the Law on Occupation: Resolution 1483 On
    The Security Council and The Law on Occupation: Resolution 1483 on Iraq in Historical Perspective Eyal Benvenisti* I. Introduction The Security Council’s recognition of the presence of US and UK forces in Iraq as occupation subject to the law of the Hague Regulations and the IV Geneva Convention1 is a rare and significant event in the history of the troubled law on occupations. A rich body of laws developed during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, and honored more by its breach since then, is set in motion to face contemporary challenges. Despite fundamental changes in law, politics and society, the basic concept of occupation retained its efficacy. This essay reviews the embattled history of the law of occupation, and assesses its contemporary status in light of the recent Security Council Resolution no. 1483 with respect to the occupation of Iraq. II. A Retrospective: The Changing Concept of Occupation (1) The Hague Conception: The Disinterested Occupant The delegates to both 1899 and 1907 Hague Peace Conferences conceived occupation as a transient situation, for the short period between hostilities and the imminent peace treaty, which would translate wartime victories into territorial or other concessions by the defeated side. The 1870-1871 Franco-Prussian War probably provided a prototype of the envisaged occupation: military victories led to the * Professor of Law, Tel Aviv University, Director of the Cegla Center for Interdisciplinary Research in the Law. © Eyal Benvenisti 1 Resolution 1483 of 22 May 2003. 2 occupation of French territory, part of which was conceded to the Prussians in the subsequent peace treaty of 1871.
