  • 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "China Counters US Point by Point At ICJ | Israel’s Occupation Of Palestine | Dawn News English," China makes its case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for jurisdiction and the importance of a two-state solution to the Palestinian question. China argues that the court has jurisdiction to render an advisory opinion and that it would not circumvent the principle of consent or disrupt negotiations. The erosion of the foundation for a two-state solution and the lack of progress toward restoring Palestinian rights were highlighted, emphasizing China's support for a comprehensive ceasefire and an early solution based on this basis. Additionally, China's written statement covers the topics of self-determination, the use of force, and international humanitarian law.
  • 00:05:00 In this section of the video, China emphasizes its support for the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in settling the Palestine question according to international law. China believes the advisory opinion will not create new rules but will be based on established legal frameworks, including Security Council resolutions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The legal guidance offered will facilitate peace negotiations. Transitioning to the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, the Chinese representative explains that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict arises from Israel's prolonged occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people. Self-determination is a fundamental principle in international law, enshrined in the UN Charter. China clarifies that self-determination applies to colonized or occupied peoples and does not provide grounds for secession. The right to self-determination for the Palestinian people has been consistently reaffirmed in multiple UN resolutions and is widely recognized by most States and international organizations. The Palestinian people, as a whole, have the right to self-determination, which encompasses preserving their territorial integrity and other related aspects.
  • 00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "China Counters US Point By Point At ICJ | Israel’s Occupation Of Palestine | Dawn News English," the speaker argues for the legitimacy of the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and their use of force to resist foreign oppression. According to the speaker, this right is enshrined in international law and can be seen in the practices of various peoples who have freed themselves from colonial rule and foreign occupation to establish independent states. The Palestinian people's declaration of the establishment of the state of Palestine in 1988 is mentioned as an example, and the use of armed struggle is acknowledged as a legitimate means to realize this right, provided it is within the context of colonial domination or foreign occupation. The speaker cites various international resolutions and conventions, such as the Arab League Resolution 3070 of 1973 and the Organization of African Unity Convention on the Prevention and Combat of Terrorism of 1999, to support this argument. The speaker emphasizes that the use of force in the name of self-determination outside of this context is not considered legitimate.
  • 00:15:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "China Counters US Point By Point At ICJ | Israel’s Occupation Of Palestine | Dawn News English," China emphasizes the illegality of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory based on international law. According to China, the principle of non-use of force is the core of international humanitarian law (IHL), and the prohibition on acquiring territory by force is a firmly established principle in customary international law. Israel's use of force to occupy and maintain the occupation is seen as illegal, confirmed by several UN resolutions. The two exceptions to the principle of non-use of force, as outlined in the UN Charter, are the use of force authorized by the Security Council under Chapter 7 and the right of self-defense. China argues that an occupying power cannot invoke the right of self-defense if the occupation is unlawful.
  • 00:20:00 in this section of the video, the legal analyst discusses the principles of occupation under International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Human Rights Law. According to the analyst, an occupying power cannot acquire sovereignty over occupied territory or use self-defense against attacks that occur in the occupied territory. However, the occupying power can take necessary forceful measures against individuals or entities and use force against military targets in accordance with international law. The application of IHL in the occupied territory does not depend on the legality of the occupation itself. The armed conflict between people struggling against colonial domination or foreign occupation and exercising their right to self-determination is considered an international armed conflict, making IHL applicable to all parties involved. The analyst also introduces the principles of temporary administration and non-alteration of territorial sovereignty, emphasizing the non-sovereign nature of military occupation. The occupying power is obligated to preserve the state's institutions of the occupied territory and not alter its sovereignty. The analyst emphasizes that relevant Israeli policies and practices have not followed these principles.
  • 00:25:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "China Counters US Point By Point At ICJ | Israel’s Occupation Of Palestine | Dawn News English", China argues that Israel's occupation of Palestine does not permit the acquiring of sovereignty over the territory. According to China, the occupation's temporary and non-sovereign nature means that the rules of acquisitive prescription in international law do not apply. China maintains that despite the passage of 57 years since the occupation began, the unlawful nature of the occupation and the sovereignty over the occupied territories remain unchanged. The settlement of the question of Palestine necessitates mutual efforts from both Israel and Palestine, along with the international community. China encourages both parties to embrace each other's legitimate concerns, negotiate for peaceful settlement, and work toward two states coexisting harmoniously. The statement concludes with China thanking the court for its patience and the registry and all the staff for their kind support.
