Abstract

In her request pursuant to Article 19(3) of the ICC Statute for a ruling on the territorial jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Palestine, the Prosecutor of the ICC took the view that the Occupied Palestinian Territory corresponds to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza. The article discusses this finding from a twofold perspective. First, it investigates the actual existence of an international consensus on the borders of the Palestinian territory. Subsequently, it addresses the qualification of such consensus in the system of the sources of international law. Putting the elements analysed by the Prosecutor more clearly into relation with the statements expressed by states individually and within regional groupings, the author finds that her position is accurate. The article then shows that the existing consensus on the borders can be qualified as evidence of a procedural customary rule implementing the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people. In this regard, the ICC may thus exercise its jurisdiction.

巴勒斯坦被占领土的边界由习惯法确定-在巴勒斯坦局势下，检察官对国际刑事法院领土管辖权的立场的评论

摘要

根据《国际刑事法院规约》第19条第3款的要求，国际法院的检察官在巴勒斯坦请求裁定国际刑事法院的领土管辖权，认为巴勒斯坦被占领土与西岸相对应。 ，包括东耶路撒冷和加沙。本文从双重角度讨论了这一发现。首先，它调查了关于巴勒斯坦领土边界的国际共识的实际存在。随后，它讨论了在国际法渊源体系中达成这种共识的条件。通过将检察官分析的要素与国家在地区集团中单独陈述的陈述更清楚地联系起来，作者发现她的立场是准确的。该条然后表明，关于边界的现有共识可以作为执行巴勒斯坦人民自决权的程序习惯规则的证据。在这方面，国际刑事法院可以行使其管辖权。
