Israel–Palestine
| Dan Sarooshi: "Israel hasn't consented" |
On 23 February 2024, Professor Dan Sarooshi, the UK’s representative at the International Court of Justice, asked the ICJ not to offer the Advisory Opinion requested by the UN General Assembly on the legal consequences arising from the policies and practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory including East Jerusalem, saying:
- "Israel has not consented to the main points of the dispute being resolved by this Court.
- "To the contrary, it has asked the Court to refuse to respond to the request.
- "Given the content of the request that's currently formulated, there is thus no basis on which the Court should answer it."[3]
