Addressing the ICJ

| "If I must die" by Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer killed in Gaza in December 2023 |
On 26 February 2024, Dr Ralph Wilde addressed the International Court of Justice on behalf of the Arab League in relation to the UNGA Request for ICJ Advisory Opinion.[2]
In a speech described as "a legal masterpiece", Dr Wilde held the full attention of the Judges as he proceeded step-by-step to demolish the legal basis for Israel's policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.[3] He stated that Palestinians have been denied their right to self-determination through a century-long violent, colonial racist effort to establish a Jewish state in Mandatory Palestine, leading to what he called "racial domination and apartheid" against Palestinians.
Wilde then highlighted the “existential illegality of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian Gaza Strip and West Bank, including East Jerusalem (al-Quds) since 1967”.[4]
Wilde aptly conveyed the notion that "the law as you like it should not be determined by the law as it is" to the ICJ, and subtly directed his criticism towards the United States and the United Kingdom by pointing to their tendency to manipulate international law to serve their own interests.
Wilde effectively placed the occupation of Palestinian territories post-1967 within its historical framework, drawing parallels between Israel's actions in the Galilee and Negev regions post-1948 and its current policies in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. He underscored a consistent pattern in Israel's behaviour, emphasising that its actions are not haphazard but rather deliberate, serving the purpose of annexation, as evidenced by the establishment and expansion of settlements in those territories.[5]
Ralph Wilde concluded his speech by quoting from the poem "If I must die" by Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer, killed in Gaza in December 2023.[6]
