69. Problem is that that wasn't whatthe ruling said
they didn't rule that specifically the barrier could not be justified on grounds of self-defense since it wasn't on the Green Line (a rather foolish claim in itself, since international law allows the construction of defensive structures on occupied territory). What they rules was that Israel could not invoke self-defense as a justification because Article 51 of the UN Charter does not apply to the conflict; an interpretation under which any Israeli military activity beyond the Green Line would be illegal.
