World Court to deliver opinion on Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories on July 19
The UN-affiliated ICJ is the only international court that adjudicates general disputes between nations and it gives advisory opinions on international legal issues.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will deliver its opinion on the legal consequences of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories on July 19, it said on Friday.
A record 52 countries presented arguments at what is also known as the World Court about the legal ramifications of Israel's actions in the territories in February after the UN General Assembly asked the ICJ in 2022 for an advisory, non-binding, opinion.
