La Cour internationale de justice a accepté la Palestine comme membre observateur. Il reste au gouvernement palestinien à signer le Statut de Rome (Cour pénale internationale) ; le Hamas est d’accord en dépit de ce qui pourrait lui être imputé.
What this means is that Palestine is now listed as a ’non-state party observer’ - exactly the same status as the US or Russia or every other country that is not a signatory of the Rome Statute.
In other words, all the ICC signatories now consider Palestine to be a state. The acceptance is symbolic but adds to the international momentum for Palestinian statehood and has legal repercussions.
If Palestine now applies to join the Rome Statute, it will be much harder to reject them. The acceptance clearly brings war-crimes trials against Israelis one step closer.
