The situation in Palestine has “indisputably” worsened over the past 20 years, and resolutions “have failed to establish redress and sanction measures,” Spain’s delegation to the International Court of Justice said, TRT World reports.

Santiago Ripol Carulla, head of the International Legal Office at the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, presented Spain’s oral statements in advisory proceedings on the legal consequences of Israel’s policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, citing the worsening situation across the territories.

“Once again, 20 years after the Advisory Opinion on the Wall was passed, it is an indisputable reality that the situation in Palestine has worsened,” he said, noting that resolutions of the UN Security Council and the General Assembly have repeatedly condemned Israel’s actions and demanded the cessation of the violations of international law.
