Abstract

This article aims at analysing the long-standing debate on Jerusalem rekindled by the decision on relocation of U.S. Embassy while taking into account the legal framework behind the division of Jerusalem into East and West sectors. Recent state practices through international organisations such as UN and OIC imply that the idea of corpus separatum (independent and international city) is abandoned in order to secure two-state solution based on 1967 borders. Noting that no firm and persistent objection have been raised for the status of West Jerusalem, potential legal ramifications of the stances that states take on the future of West Jerusalem will be evaluated herein from an international law perspective in the light of Judgments of International Court of Justice and UN and OIC Resolutions.

Özet

Bu makale ABD büyükelçilik kararı ile yeniden alevlenen Kudüs tartışmasına Doğu Kudüs ve Batı Kudüs ayrılığının hukuki zemini üzerinden bakmaya çalışacaktır. Devletlerin BM ve İİT gibi uluslararası örgütler bünyesinde son yıllarda ortaya koyduğu pratik, 1967 sınırları çerçevesinde öngörülen iki devletli çözümü temin etmek için corpus separatum (bağımsız ve uluslararası şehir) fikrinin terk edildiğini işaret etmektedir. Ayrıca belirtmek gerekir ki Batı Kudüs’ün statüsü hakkında da kararlı ve ısrarlı bir itiraz söz konusu değildir. Bu anlamda çalışmada, Uluslararası Adalet Divanı kararları ile BM ve İİT kararları ışığında, devletlerin tutumunun özellikle Batı Kudüs’ün geleceği açısından ortaya çıkaracağı muhtemel neticeler uluslararası hukuk perspektifinden ele alınacaktır.
