International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion Proceedings On Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory Palestine Written Statement (30 January 2004) And Oral Pleading (23 February 2004) Preface 1. In October of 2003, increasing concern about the construction by Israel, the occupying Power, of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949 (the Green Line) and deep into Palestinian territory, brought the issue to the forefront of attention and debate at the United Nations. The Wall, as it has been built by the occupying Power, has been rapidly expanding as a regime composed of a complex physical structure as well as practical, administrative and other measures, involving, inter alia, the confiscation of land, the destruction of property and countless other violations of international law and the human rights of the civilian population. Israel’s continued and aggressive construction of the Wall prompted Palestine, the Arab Group, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to convey letters to the President of the United Nations Security Council in October of 2003, requesting an urgent meeting of the Council to consider the grave violations and breaches of international law being committed by Israel. 2. The Security Council convened to deliberate the matter on 14 October 2003. A draft resolution was presented to the Council, which would have simply reaffirmed, inter alia, the principle of the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force and would have decided that the “construction by Israel, the occupying Power, of a wall in the Occupied Territories departing from the armistice line of 1949 is illegal under relevant provisions of international law and must be ceased and reversed”. -

Amnesty International Israel and the Occupied Territories Surviving Under Siege: the Impact of Movement Restrictions on the Right to Work

The severe restriction on movements of persons and goods within the Occupied Territories and between these and Israel have resulted in a dramatic decline in consumption, income and employment levels, and unprecedented contraction of economic activity.” Report of the Director-General of the International Labour Office (ILO), May 2003.1 “By the end of 2002 Real Gross National Income (GNI) had shrunk by 38 percent from its 1999 level…Overall GNI losses reached US$5.2 billion after 27 months of intifada…The proximate cause of the Palestinian economic crisis is closure.” “Twenty-seven Months - Intifada, Closures and Palestinian Economic Crisis: An assessment”, World Bank, May 2003 “People can’t work properly in Jenin because they open their businesses; a tank comes and they have to shut. How can they work? The curfew has made things worse. The Israeli army announces: ‘Tomorrow Jenin will be open.’ But the following day, the army comes and announces a curfew and tanks close the town. -
