ICJ ruling just came out:
11-4, Israeli occupation of Palestine is unlawful.
11-4, Israel is obliged to bring to an end its unlawful presence in Palestine as quickly as possible.
14-1, Israel is obliged to cease immediately all new settlement activities.
14-1, Israel must make reparations to Palestinians.
12-3, all states are under the obligation not to recognise as legal the unlawful occupation of Palestine.
12-3, international organisations including the UN are obliged not to recognise as legal the unlawful occupation.
12-3, the UN and the GA and SC should consider the modalities to bring occupation to an end.
In the court ruling, the court finds, inter alia, that all signatories to GCIV (4th Gevena Convention) must refrain from aiding Israel to continue the unlawful occupation, must carry out whatever actions are compatible with the UN Charter and international law to help bringing occupation to an end, and must clearly distinguish between Israeli territory and the illegally occupied Palestinian territory.
It's an advisory opinion but it is a huge huge win for Palestine, and could have very relevant implications in using domestic courts to curb collaboration with occupation in other states.
