Apartheid Wall

A 440-mile-long barrier constructed by Israel under the guise of security, 35% of which is still under construction. Two years after construction began in 2002, the International Court of Justice deemed the wall illegal and called for a halt to construction, as 85% of it is built or scheduled to be built within Palestinian lands in the West Bank rather than on the internationally-recognized 1967 border, cutting off Palestinians from their own land and restricting their freedom of movement.
