Prelude to the Best Sommelier of Canada Contest | SaltWireAMSTERDAM - The International Court of Justice will hold public hearings to allow parties to give their views on the legal consequences of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories before eventually issuing a non-binding legal opinion, it said on Monday.
The 193-member United Nations General Assembly in December had asked the ICJ, also known as the World Court, to give its view on the on-going conflict between Israel and Palestinians. Hearings in the Dutch city of The Hague will open on Monday, Feb. 19, the court said. The request for a so-called advisory opinion had been made before the current escalation in the region, so the ICJ's opinion will focus solely on the Israeli occupation.
It was made in a resolution adopted by the General Assembly with 87 votes in favor. Israel, the United States and 24 other members voted against, while 53 abstained.
