"Hundreds of pro-Israel protestors gathered around the wreckage of a bombed bus in front of the Peace Palace in The Hague on Monday as the International Criminal Court started its hearings over Israel's anti-terrorism wall.

The United Nations General Assembly requested the ICC to examine whether the construction of the wall was legal, but the court ruling — if one is made — will not be binding. The ruling can influence international public opinion.

Israel claims the wall is necessary to prevent suicide bombings and the court hearings are scheduled to last three days. The Palestinians were presenting their side on Monday."

3. I hate to be pedantic

but this particular case is being heard in the ICJ..international court of justice..the legal organ of the UN..the ICC is a seperate court which would deal mainly with war crimes and crimes against humanity..Israel and the US are not signatories to the ICC along with many other countries..
