    Very interesting "Israel is obliged under international law to apply to the West Bank the legal system that was in place before it became occupied in 1967,"

    1. In a weird coincidence I was arguing with some online about a month ago, who sent me this, thinking it was about Hague article 42 (he wasn’t very bright just spamming stuff he didn’t read or understand). I remembered it because I had a good laugh at his blunder.
      LEGISLATION UNDER ARTICLE 43 OF THE HAGUE REGULATIONS: BELLIGERENT OCCUPATION AND PEACEBUILDING BY PROFESSOR YORAM DINSTEIN
      http://www.hpcrresearch.org/sites/default/files/publications/OccasionalPaper1.pdf
      The paper talks about the conflict between the requirements of Hague Article 43, Geneva IV Article. 47 and 64.
      Considering Jordan effectively banned Jews from all of its territory I don’t see how Israel could apply their laws. Also following Jordanian law would legitimise their annexation of the west bank. They could go back to British Mandate Laws, which would really give people something to complain about.

      I agree with Eugene Rostow, the WB is unclaimed mandate territory. Its current status is disputed territory, administered under the Oslo accords, where Israel applies its own laws to Area C.
