Broken - A Palestinian Journey Through International Law
Share:
Documentary by acclaimed Palestinian director Mohammed Alatar examining the broken promise of international law in the context of Israel’s construction of a 700 km-long apartheid wall in the West Bank, ruled illegal in an International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion in 2004. The film includes interviews with ICJ judges, international law experts, and the Israeli military officer who planned the wall’s route. Covers the daily humanitarian implications of the wall on Palestinian communities in the West Bank and the non-enforcement of international law in a Palestinian context. This source is valuable for viewers and educators examining the wall, the ICJ's 2004 advisory opinion, and the gap between international law and its enforcement in Palestine.
