Detail - Steps of Defacto Annexation through Settlements Building
Goto Source for this Table - section of International Law Study Guide covering illegality of defacto annexation of occupied territory.
The Israeli government has accomplished de facto annexation of occupied territory in three steps:
- The first stage was hidden in Israeli military orders in the occupied territories because the orders simply said that the military commander of the area was empowered to pass separate regulations governing these settlements as he saw fit. These regulations, which are not available to the public, then began building a separate legal system for the Israeli civilians in these settlements;
- Then the Israeli government passed military orders establislhing separate governing councils for these settlements;
- Finally the Israeli government began passing Israeli laws which listed other Israeli laws which were now applicable in the Israeli settlements on Palestinian lands (Shehadeh, 1992).
