Nearly ten years after Security Council Resolution 2334 was adopted, the question is no longer whether settlements violate international law, but whether States are prepared to give legal consequence to that conclusion.
The International Court of Justice has now confirmed that Israel's continued presence in occupied Palestine is itself unlawful and has clarified the obligations that follow for Israel, third States and the United Nations.
Those obligations are not exhausted by statements of concern. They require non-recognition, non-assistance and cooperation to bring the unlawful situation to an end.
They require remedies to Palestinian victims: restitution wherever possible, and where it is materially impossible, compensation through an expanded UN Register of Damage capable of addressing the full consequences of Israel's unlawful presence since 1967.
They also require protection in the present.
Humanitarian organizations, such as , cannot assist communities at risk of forcible transfer if their presence, registration and operations are obstructed.
The law is settled. The humanitarian consequences are evident. What remains is implementation.
