The case, initiated following a 2024 request by the UN General Assembly, seeks to clarify Israel’s responsibilities under international law regarding the presence of UN agencies, international organisations, and third states in occupied Palestinian territory. Imseis emphasised that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) enjoys privileges and immunities under international law, granting it the right to operate within the occupied territory. Authorised by the UN General Assembly and invited by the State of Palestine, UNRWA’s presence is legally protected. Imseis expressed confidence that the ICJ will affirm Israel’s obligation to maintain UNRWA operations and prevent its expulsion.
