34:40 Natasha makes a great point here that the ICJ has now trashed the Oslo Accords - and, I would say, along with it any reason to believe that an agreement between Palestinians and Israel would ever be honored. And I don’t mean by the parties themselves, though we’ve already seen the Palestinians abrogate every agreement they’ve entered into with Israel, but by the UN itself! Why would Israel agree to a two state solution now? Who would they trust to enforce the agreement? Certainly not the ICJ!!! I was also glad to hear Natasha say that she’s never heard anyone advance an argument as to why ute possidetus juris should not apply in the case of Israel. I haven’t either. If anyone knows of any Palestinian legal experts who have even talked about it, please post a link. As far as I can tell, it’s a solid argument that the UN and Palestinian leaders simply choose to ignore. Perhaps that’s a tactic, their thinking being that acknowledging it in any way (even critically) will bring more attention to it.
Judge Sebitunde absolutely nailed it with her dissenting opinion and her reference to the rule of uti possidetis as justification for determining that all of Mandate Palestine is Israeli territory. Why, oh, why, didn't she drive it home by declaring that the ICJ has no jurisdiction to recognise a situation brought about by aggressive war waged by Egypt and Jordan upon Israel from 1948?
@@MichaelPetek because the jurisdictional question was whether it was within ICJ jurisdiction to respond to a request from the General Assembly for an advisory opinion on the legality of settlements. And she decided it was - as did the other justices. However, she believes the court should have exercised its discretion and declined the request because it contained within its formulation a bunch of presuppositions which the court could not (or would not) properly investigate or validate. Therefore any answer the court gave would be misleading or inaccurate if any of the presuppositions were false. And that’s exactly the situation now. This was clearly a political move on the part of the General Assembly, cleverly contrived to enroll the ICJ in providing legal validation for their bogus and biased claims against Israel. We already see the media reporting this as a “ruling”, which it is not. Very few say anything about Sabutinde’s dissenting opinion, despite it being replete with examples of why the majority opinion is bollocks. This is quite the propaganda coup for Palestinians.

Article 12 says the GA can't discuss things already under discussion within the Security Council. Article 1 says the purposes of the UN are: 1. To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace; 2.

Any treaty, not excluding the UN Charter, is void in whole: "if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law. For the purposes of the present Convention [Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969], a peremptory norm of general international law is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of general international law having the same character."

The world has to accept the right for Israelis to live on their God-given biblical land . In a legal and archaeological perspective the evedidance is simply overwhelming and undeniably indisputable .

@@ruffryder13 she’s smart enough to cook up a reasonable argument. That is all. Fact show that the government of Israel is practicing a system of apartheid that is illegal under international law. Those same laws that Israel is famously known to try and skirt around in order to somehow try and justify their decades long occupation. Occupation, by law is supposed to be temporary until order can be restored. South Africa was able to show the ICJ that because of the amount of money that Israel has invested in their illegal settlements, as well as the highway construction around them , the occupation is not a temporary measure, but a permanent one. That is why the court has ordered Israel to end their illegal occupation as soon as reasonably possible. I’m not going to continue to argue with anyone who disputes what I’ve said. Take it up with the ICJ. It is their ruling.

Her stand, which I agree with, is that according to real international law (not the fiction that some people like to quote), Israel is sovereign from the river to the sea, minus any territory that it has negotiated in agreement.

@@gkappa4085 This claim cannot stand, especially as numerous settlements beyond the 1949 Armistice lines existed *before* Jordan's annexation of 1949-1967 (e.g. Gush Etzion, founded 1943), and numerous towns and cities there had Jewish residents also prior even to the Balfour Declaration. Was anybody accusing Jews of breaking international law for living in the eastern part of Jerusalem during the late 19th century? Because Jerusalem had re-obtained a Jewish majority by around 1860.
