Three Years Later: The Humanitarian Impact of the Barrier Since the International Court of Justice Opinion

Special Focus The Humanitarian Impact of the Barrier since the International Court of Justice Opinion July 2007
Three years ago today, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an advisory opinion stating that the route of Israel's Barrier in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and its associated permit and gate regime, constitute a serious breach of international law.

In this Special Focus, OCHA looks at several communities in the northern West Bank that have been severed by the Barrier from their neighbouring communities, from agricultural lands and livelihoods.
