In the advisory opinion on the Legal Consequences Arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Including East Jerusalem (Opinion) rendered on July 19, 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), almost unanimously, determined that certain policies and practices undertaken by Israel in the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem, the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) and occupation thereof, are unlawful, and that they entail consequences for Israel, third states, and the United Nations (UN).The Opinion focuses on several international legal issues, particularly relating to international humanitarian law (IHL), jus ad bellum (JAB), and the principle of self-determination of peoples.This note explores the main findings, focusing particularly on certain points pertaining to the sources of illegality of the occupation that deserve more analytical clarity
