Uluslararası Hukuk Kapsamında İsrail Yüksek Mahkemesi’nin İşgal ile İlgili Kararlarının Eleştirisi

Yaklaşık elli yıllık bir işgal olması nedeniyle İsrail’in Filistindeki işgali benzersiz özelliklere sahiptir. İsrail Yüksek Mahkemesi, İsrail’in Batı Şeria’yı işgal ettiği 1967 savaşından bu yana işgalin birçok yönünü ele alan farklı kararlar vermiştir. Bu kararlar, işgal altında yaşayan binlerce Filistinlinin haklarının ihlalinin meşrulaştırılması için kullanıldığı ve uluslararası hukuka uygun yorumlarla bağdaşmadığı gerekçesiyle eleştirilirken, Mahkeme, bölgedeki mevcut devlet politikası doğrultusunda tartışmalı kararlar vermeye devam etmiştir. Birçok tartışmalı kararda Mahkeme, bölgedeki işgal süresinin uzunluğu nedeniyle hukukun bölgedeki gerçekliğe uyum göstermesi gerektiğini savundu. Bu makalede Mahkeme’nin yaklaşımı çeşitli açılardan eleştirilecektir. Bu yapılırken, İsrail işgalinin karakteristik özelliklerinin, uzun süreli işgal, korunan kişiler ve askeri gereklilikler gibi tartışmalı konulara ilişkin mahkeme kararlarını nasıl etkilediği eleştirel olarak değerlendirilmeye çalışılacaktır.

The Israeli occupation has a uniquefeature due to its length of almost fiftyyears. The Israel Supreme Court hasmade unprecedented decisions thataddress many aspects of occupationsince the 1967 war when Israeloccupied the West Bank. While thesedecisions have been criticised due to thelegitimization of violations of the rightsof thousands of Palestinians living underoccupation and being incompatiblewith the interpretation of internationallaw the Court was continuing to makecontroversial decisions in line withthe state policy in the region. In manycontroversial decisions, the Court arguedthat due to the length of the occupation,the law should be adjusted to the realityin the territory. In this article, the Court’sapproach will be criticised from variousperspectives. In doing so, it will be triedto critically assess how the specific andcharacteristic features of the Israelioccupation affects the decisions oncontroversial issues such as long-termoccupation, protected person, andmilitary needs.
