This paper explores the legality of the land closure imposed upon the Gaza Strip by Israel. After having considered the area under occupation, the paper argues that the legality of the closure must be determined under international humanitarian law, international human rights law, the principle of self-determination of peoples, and the Israeli-Palestinian agreements. In the light of these rules, the arbitrary closure of the Gaza Strip should be considered illegal because it breaches the unity between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and because it violates the freedom of movement of the local population. Moreover, the closure breaches the relevant rules pertaining to the transit of goods in occupied territory. The paper concludes that most of the violations caused by the closure affect peremptory rules which produce obligations erga omnes, so that any state in the international community is entitled to react under the law of state responsibility.

加沙地带与西岸陆路封闭与安全通道的合法性

本文探讨了以色列对加沙地带实施土地封锁的合法性。在考虑了被占领地区之后，该文件认为，关闭的合法性必须根据国际人道主义法、国际人权法、人民自决原则和巴以协议来确定。根据这些规则，任意关闭加沙地带应被视为非法，因为它破坏了加沙地带和西岸之间的团结，并因为它侵犯了当地居民的行动自由。此外，封锁违反了有关货物在被占领土过境的规定。论文的结论是，关闭造成的大多数违规行为都会影响产生义务的强制性规则普遍适用，以便国际社会中的任何国家都有权根据国家责任法作出反应。
