Foreign Office Disclosure on the Separation Wall

atif on January 13th, 2006

In July 2004 the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled the Separation Wall to be illegal where it stands on Palestinian territory, and pointed to the obligations of the international community under the Geneva Conventions to take action against Israel to end its violations.

One year later, in July 2005, War on Want, the Dove & Dolphin charity and a number of individuals instructed lawyers from Hickman & Rose to write to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and the European Commission to ask what action they had taken to prevent Israeli abuses of Palestinian human rights, specifically in relation to the Separation Wall.

The Foreign Office disclosure, under the Freedom of Information Act, is made public (with commentary) at: www.waronwant.org/?lid=11496
