Re: World Court ruling on West Bank Wall

Re my earlier post: Still waiting for the advisory opinion to be posted, but someone alerted me that War Nut Daily has an article claiming that a leaked copy of the opinion reveals: "Fourteen votes favored the decision and the sole opponent was the American Judge, Thomas Buerghenthal." If correct, even the (Jewish) British judge, Rosalyn Higgins, voted against the wall. Interestinger and interestinger.

Coda: The advisory opinion is up. It, and some of the separate concurring opinions (including that of Judge Higgins) are quite interesting. There is also a summary available.
