SYNOPSIS

An examination of the broken promises of international law in the case of the 700 km-long wall between Israel and Palestine.

SUMMARY

Broken examines the broken promises of international law in the case of the 700 km-long wall between Israel and Palestine. Candid testimonies are provided by internationally renowned law experts, judges from the International Court of Justice (ICJ), seasoned diplomats, and the Israeli military officer who commanded the construction of the Wall in 2002. In its 2004 Advisory Opinion, the ICJ declared the Wall illegal. Now, 14 years later, the Wall is nearing completion.

Broken was inspired and produced by a former UN expert who monitored the humanitarian impact of the Wall from 2005-2013.
