Key Aspects of Israel’s Obligations Not Addressed

Last month, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an advisory opinion on Israel’s obligations towards UN agencies in the occupied Palestinian Territories, which the UN General Assembly requested. The ICJ stated that Israel must not obstruct UNRWA operations and must respect Palestinian self-determination, yet these non-binding resolutions ultimately serve to reinforce Israel’s impunity. International institutions fail to hold Israel accountable, as they prioritize military alignment over human rights, leaving Palestinians marginalized. A unified international call for Israel’s decolonization remains absent, undermining the fulfillment of UNRWA’s mandate.
