CMPAC is pleased to present an in-depth examination of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion concerning Israel’s policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Delivered on July 19, 2024, the ICJ’s Opinion unequivocally condemns Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands as unlawful and highlights severe breaches of international humanitarian and human rights laws. This comprehensive report explores key issues, including the characterization of Israel’s practices as apartheid, the impact on pro-Palestinian movements in Canada, and the implications for the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. CMPAC calls for urgent action from the Canadian government to align its policies with international legal standards, support Palestinian self-determination, and reevaluate its stance on antisemitism.
