Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B.
1. In the Wall Advisory Opinion (2004), requested by GA Resolution ES-10/14, the ICJ held by 14-1 (Judge Buergenthal dissenting on certain points): 'The construction of the wall being built by Israel, the occupying Power, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, and its associated regime, are CONTRARY TO INTERNATIONAL LAW.'
2. The Court found violations of international humanitarian law (4th Geneva Convention) and human rights treaties (ICCPR, ICESCR).
3. The Court determined Israel was OBLIGATED to: (i) cease construction; (ii) dismantle structures already built; (iii) make REPARATIONS for damage caused.
4. The Court called on the UN to consider further action.
5. Hence option B is correct.
