the hague Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki told the UN court that the Palestinian people were suffering colonialism and apartheid from the Israelis. The Palestinian minister described their ordeal while examining the legal ramifications of Israel’s occupation.
Palestinians endure colonialism and apartheid. There are those who are outraged by these words. In fact, it is our experiences that should make them angry – said Al-Maliki.
The International Court of Justice has been hearing every week on the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation since 1967. 52 countries are expected to give evidence.
Countries including the United States, Russia and China will address the judges at the Peace Palace in The Hague, home of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
The Palestinian minister urged the court to declare the occupation illegal and order it to end. Justice delayed is justice denied. The Palestinian people have long been denied justice. Therefore, he said, the occupation must be declared completely and unconditionally illegal.
