Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025

2:00 am

Mr. Declan Smyth:

The convention on genocide was not considered by the International Court of Justice. The International Court of Justice advisory opinion identified a series of obligations on all states in respect of the prolonged Israeli occupation of the occupied Palestinian territory. States have had identified for them by the ICJ a series of obligations with which they should comply. It is not necessary for states to produce one single measure that will allow them to comply with all of the obligations identified.
