Abstract
This study aims to analyze the role of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in shaping the course of the Gaza conflict through its decisions and advisory opinions, focusing on its legal and political impact on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, starting with the advisory opinion on the separation wall in 2004 through the provisional measures issued in 2024. The central issue of the study is embodied in the question: How has the ICJ contributed to shaping the dynamics of the conflict in Gaza through its advisory and arbitration decisions?
The study employed a critical-analytical approach, examining gaps between the theoretical framework of international law and the Court's practical decisions, alongside a comparative analysis of the Court's rulings in cases such as Rwanda and Bosnia relative to the Palestinian cause. The study demonstrated that the ICJ played a pivotal role in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict by legitimizing Palestinian rights, particularly the right to self-determination, as a jus cogens norm. However, the Court's decisions have been challenged by the political considerations of the Security Council, and international public opinion has made them a reference for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns. The Court has succeeded in legitimizing Palestinian claims and revisiting the international debate on the conflict from the perspective of international law, despite the issues facing the implementation of the decisions.
The study's originality lies in its integrated legal-political analysis of ICJ decisions from 2004 to 2024, assessing international judicial effectiveness in a protracted occupation conflict.
