International Law and the Israeli-Palestinian Dispute

International Law,as Professor Herbert Hart has mentioned, has two kinds of regulations: first regulations (convention Law ) and second regulations (Responsibility Law ). Usually in international society,the second regulation complicates the enforcement of international law. While in legal issues, if the enforcement of first regulation is unimportant for some governments, or between two or more governments overa dispute when the first regulation exists but is not enough for settlement and the parties do not want to conclude new conventions for the dispute, enforcement of international responsibility (second regulation) will be hard. The dispute between Palestine and Israel is exactly as such.Sinceneither conventions are between them, they wouldnot recognize and enforce themfor their dispute,andIsrael’s responsibility is not recognizedeffectively by the United Nations, Security Council, International Court of Justice, and etc. In this research, we will explainthat the dispute between Israel and Palestine falls in what exact category of international law, and will also analyzethe paths through which the international society actors enforce the international law.
