Home > Current Issues > The West Bank Barrier Since 2002, Israel has been constructing a Barrier throughout the West Bank, which it states is a security measure to protect Israeli civilians from Palestinian militant attacks. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) opined in July 2004 that the Barrier route in the West Bank is illegal under international humanitarian and human rights law.
